What TCM is:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the several-thousand-year-old complete medical system of China. TCM views the human body as a micro-universe comprised of all of the forces of nature. When the body’s systems work together to balance the forces, there is health, and when the systems are out of balance there is illness. TCM utilizes acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tui na massage to address imbalances and restore health.

What to expect at a TCM consultation and treatment:

A regular visit comprises of the practitioner asking questions and making observations to access the patient’s constitutional pattern. Questions may cover all aspects of health including digestion, sleep patterns, emotional states, as well as the nature of the main complaint. Examination usually includes facial and tongue analysis, feeling of the carotid and radial pulse, and palpation of acupuncture points.

After the consultation, a diagnosis will be determined and a treatment plan developed. Depending on the patient’s needs, the treatment may consist of acupuncture, cupping, massage, and herbal prescriptions, or any combination of the these modalities. Treatments may consist of one single visit, or multiple follow-up visits depending on the nature of what is being treated. As a general rule of thumb, the longer one has had an ailment, the longer it will take to treat it.
