Services offered at TCMC
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a
natural healing technique which restores, regulates and normalizes the
flow of vital energy (Chi) through the body by inserting hair-thin
needles into the body's energy pathways. Energy blockages, systemic
deficiencies, and imbalances or disharmonies of the body's fundamental
substances can all be addressed by acupuncture treatment. Scientific
research has demonstrated again and again that acupuncture produces
measurable effects within the body. Acupuncture has been proven safe
and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions including:
headache, nausea, back pain, knee pain, arthritis pain, infertility,
and emotional disorders. Researchers believe that they are close to
explaining the mechanism of acupuncture's pain-reducing effects since
they have documented that acupuncture promotes the release of
neurotransmitters into the bloodstream.
TCMC uses only sterile, disposable needles.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese
herbs are used for balancing, harmonizing, and cleansing the body's
systems. Used alone or in combination with acupuncture, they
effectively treat a wide variety of health problems and maintain
wellness without significant side effects. Ongoing scientific studies
into traditional Chinese herbs are corroborating the effectiveness of
many time-tested formulas.
TCMC has a large selection of standard formulas and raw herbs available. Dr. Thao is well-trained in prescribing them.
Chinese Dietary Therapy
Dietary
Therapy prescribes traditional foods that have been scientifically
shown to contain phytochemicals that are beneficial to specific health
probles such as menopause, digestive disorders, mood swings and others.
Tui Na
Tui
Na is a Chinese form of therapeutic acupressure. Based on the same
treatment principles as acupuncture, it balances and harmonizes Chi
flow in the body. Tui Na effectively addresses many health conditions
through its ability to control pain and reduce stress.
Tai Chi
Tai
chi is meditative and physical exercise which coordinates breathing
techniques with bodily movements. It helps tone muscles, improve
flexibility, reduce stress, and build endurance.
