Chinese Medicine is a refined medical system that has been used
for more than three thousand years to diagnose and treat illness,
prevent disease and improve well-being.  Traditional Chinese
Medicine considers the patient as a “whole”; body, mind and spirit.
Acupuncture is one of Chinese Medicine’s most important treatment modalities.  
Vital Energy also known as “Qi”, circulates throughout the body along well-defined
pathways.  Points along these pathways are energetically connected to specific
organs, body structures and functional systems.  If this energy circulation is
disrupted, optimal function is affected, resulting in pain or illness.
Acupuncture points are stimulated to balance the circulation of vital energy, which in
turn influences the health of the entire being.

Chinese Herbal Medicine treatment with Acupuncture is the most commonly used
technique in Chinese Medicine.  An equally important, but lesser known modality is
Herbal Medicine.  This highly evolved science differs from Western herbology.  
Chinese herbs are almost always prescribed in combination, giving the formula a
synergistic effect far greater than the sum of its parts.  Most formulas are hundreds
of years old, with proven clinical effectiveness.
