TCM views a person as an energy system in which body, spirit and mind are unified and it recognizes that these interconnected aspects of ourselves influence and balance each other. Acupuncturists are trained to read very small energetic changes within the body through a variety of diagnostic methods such as feeling the pulses on both wrists, and noting their quality, rhythm and strength. The structure, color and coating of the tongue also give a good guide to a person's health.

Most patients report a heightened sense of relaxation after treatment, and feel rejuvenated with partial or total relief of major symptoms treated. Ultimately, as the body's stress and inflammatory response diminishes through Acupuncture treatment, the body is able to function more harmoniously.

As part of your first visit, you will receive a customized treatment plan detailing an appropriate course of treatment for your specific condition. In addition to the Acupuncture, you will be given dietary advice as well as herbal and nutritional supplement recommendations in order to restore health. Treatment length and frequency is determined based on how long the illness has been present, and the severity of the pain or disease.
