About Therapies offered at the Center:

 

The human body contains its own pharmacy and self-healing capacity which can be effectively activated through acupuncture.  Acupuncture relieves pain, reduces inflammation, calms the mind, regulates hormones and increases blood flow and tissue oxygenation.

 

Treatment for children and needle sensitive patients can be done without needles using light frequencies which have been found to have powerful therapeutic effects.  Other modalities used to stimulate the body's healing include cupping, moxibustion, electric stimulation, osteopathy and massage.

 

Diagnosis in TCM is achieved via a thorough clinical intake, tongue and pulse diagnosis, and palpation of diagnostic points, for example those found in the ear. 

 

Some conditions are helped by adding high quality herbal formulas or supplements to the treatment. 

 

Sometimes there are obstacles to healing, such as unhealthy habits or living environments.  In such cases life-style changes, nutritional advice or specific exercises may be recommended.

 

Patients with asthma, sinus problems, high blood pressure, anxiety and/or sleep disturbances can opt to learn the Buteyko Breathing method, which is highly effective for these conditions.
