CHINESE MEDICINE

The concept of Qi is what makes Chinese Medicine distinct. Qi (pronounced chee) is roughly translated as “vital life force” or “energy.” Whether you accept the notion of Qi or prefer to think about the electrical impulses inherent in our nervous system, it doesn’t really matter—either way, it’s difficult to deny the fact that humans are energetic beings. Our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies abound with electromagnetic and subtle energies that form the very foundation of our health. When our energy system is strong, abundant and flowing smoothly, we experience health and vitality. In contrast, when our energy system becomes weakened, deficient or blocked, we experience pain, illness and disease.

Chinese Medicine uses a holistic approach to diagnose energy imbalances and identify their root cause. Acupuncture and other therapies are then utilized to facilitate and strengthen your body’s innate healing mechanisms. Because treatment is focused on alleviating the root cause of your imbalance, you experience more profound, lasting health, as opposed to a mere masking of your symptoms.
