Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Supporting Natural Balance
We apply the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine to address the body's needs. This approach assists the internal mechanisms responsible for self-regulation.
We seek to restore vitality and encourage the smooth flow of energy.
Acupuncture
A Tool for Balance
Acupuncture involves the placement of fine, sterile needles into specific anatomical points. This action stimulates the nervous system, influencing the body's homeostatic mechanisms. Patients experience a shift in their internal state, leading to improved circulation and a sense of grounding.
We utilize various methodologies to suit the individual needs of the patient:
-
Systemic Balance: We often employ Dr. Tan's Balance Method to treat pain and internal disorders by mirroring the body’s meridians.
-
Targeted Stimulation: For conditions requiring stronger stimulation, we may utilize Electro-Acupuncture.
-
Reflex Systems: We access the body's microsystems through Abdominal & Navel Acupuncture or Auricular Acupuncture.
Beyond Balance
Holistic Modalities
TCM encompasses a broad range of manual therapies designed to move energy and blood. We integrate these tools into our sessions to enhance the healing response.
-
Warmth & Circulation: The application of heat through Moxibustion invigorates the channels and dispels cold.
-
Tension Release: We use Cupping to draw toxins from the muscles and relieve deep-seated tension.
-
Manual Therapy: The practice of TuiNa massage manipulates the soft tissue to promote flow and flexibility.
