Service Description

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture- believes the human body acts as a small universe connected by channels. By physically stimulating these channels, the practitioner can promote the body's self-regulating functions and bring health to the patient. This stimulation involves burning moxa (mugwort) or inserting needles into points on these channels to restore the body's balance and prevent and treat disease. Western Medical (WM) Acupuncture- enhances pain modulation by stimulating the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins to relieve pain or stress, melatonin to promote sleep, and serotonin to promote wellbeing. These assist the body's healing process and offer pain relief as a precursor for other manual or exercise therapies such as massage or tuina.
