Chinese medicine is a system of health care more than 4000 years old. It is founded on a paradigm of the human body on the basis of energy or “Qi” flow.
Pain or illness results from blockage or imbalance of Qi, and treatments correct or balance the flow of Qi. The practitioner determines areas of deficient or excess areas of energy. Acupuncture moves the energy, allowing for the free flow of qi (life force). The free flow of energy encourages the body to promote its natural healing ability.
Chinese medicine is a safe, gentle, non-invasive system of health care that is useful for a wide range of health needs.
