Welcome!

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system that has been used for over 3,000 years.  It makes the connection between the functions of the body and how closely they resemble natural processes that occur in nature.  It is the basic desire of both to remain in complete harmony (yin & yang).  The body is an energetic system full of connected pathways (meridians).  If one part of the system is not functioning at its full potential, it can affect other parts of the body.  The life force that runs through these meridians is called qi (pronounced 'chi').  There needs to be enough qi and the ability for it to flow freely in order for the body to remain in a state of balance.  When there is an imbalance, our body makes us aware by a feeling of discomfort, pain, or suffering.  Chinese Medicine can treat the symptoms of the pain, but also treats the root cause of what is creating the symptoms.  With acupuncture, herbs, lifestyle changes, and other TCM treatments, the body can get back to its natural desired state of balance.
