Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in the form of acupuncture, is subtle yet powerful. This effective, drug free method safely unlocks your innate ability to heal yourself, restoring balance in your body. As an electrical being, your nervous system constantly sends and receives electrical signals throughout your entire body.
Sometimes through injury, disease or lifestyle this free flow of electrical energy becomes hindered or blocked, causing pain or illness. I'm sure you're familiar with low back pain, headaches, digestion issues, insomnia, menstrual cramps, or other ailments that send messages of pain.

TCM is a comprehensive medical system that focuses on restoring balance in your body and has evolved over 3,000 years of clinical use. Acupuncture is part of TCM and modern medical research shows that it is effective. TCM looks at your entire being seeking the root cause of imbalance. It goes deeper than the mere masking of symptoms with drugs.
Your immune system is responsible for protecting you from infection from the outside and from abnormal cellular growth on the inside. A suppressed immune system can not only leave you vulnerable to every cold or sore throat that goes around but also to cancer. Poor nutrition, overwork, stress, sleep deprivation and emotional upheaval can all contribute to weakened immunity.
