  • How Can Chinese Medicine Help Me?

    Chinese Medicine is used worldwide both as a primary and complementary form of medical treatment. The list of conditions that Chinese Medicine may help is essentially limitless.

  • Does acupuncture hurt? What are the needles like?

    Acupuncture needles are sterile, single use and very thin. Any hesitation about the treatment disappears after the first needle is inserted as it is generally painless. After the needles are inserted most patients feel relaxed and comfortable and often fall asleep until their treatment is finished.

  • How is Tui Na works?

     

    Movement is an essential part of nature.  If it becomes stagnant for any reason, there will be  unnatural events.  Human body is no exception as it is only a part of nature.  If left unnoticed, even small stagnations will compound and eventually become stubborn blockages causing much suffering and pain.  Treatments like Tui Na are tools used to address the condition to restore the natural flow.
