Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive system of health care based on several thousand years of empirical observation and study. It is an ancient practice that provides a natural and effective way to treat pain conditions and other health problems. It may be used as a primary treatment for many conditions, as an adjunct to Western medicine, or as a way to maintain health and prevent illness. In Chinese Medicine, a holistic and integrative perspective is used - considering one's diet, emotional and mental outlook, lifestyle, and work and environmental influences along with the physical body. This holistic concept allows for the root of an ailment to be addressed along with the symptoms.
