How is the Chinese Medicine approach different from the western approach?
The chinese medicine approach includes acupunctue in conjunction with diet, proper exercise and when appropriate herbal medicine. Rather than focusing on a body part or a symptom in isolation, the skilled practitioner will evaluate and treat any imbalances in the entire body and recognizes the important connection between the physicial and mental/emotional state of the individul. In our program we have found that Chinese medicine and in particular acupuncture can be very effective in addressing a variety of symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, hormonal imbalances and a variety of other medical symptoms.
