Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system that can be used alone or in conjunction with other medical systems. It has developed out of a long, well documented history that is continuously evolving through research and modern clinical experience. TCM uses five main modalities including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese medical massage known as 'tui na', eastern dietary therapy, and moxibustion.
By integrating these five therapeutic modalities, you will receive a specific treatment catered to your individual needs. A treatment strategy will be created for you based on condition, chronicity, and constitution. TCM theory is based on the premise that imbalances and blockages in the body are contributing factor to disease.

TCM has been around for over 2,500 years and is considered the oldest practiced medical system on the face of the earth. In New York state, you do not need a referral from a doctor to come to Acupuncture! However, by law, we do not take the place of your medical doctor and we advise that you seek a medical doctor for the conditions for which you are seeking us.
I once had a patient report extreme diarrhea. After we went through her diet she suggested it was the lemon water she just started drinking. I would have sooner credited it to her overindulgence of simple carbs, dairy, high sugar and high fat foods, that she had reported sensitivity to in her initial intake.
