What can Traditional Chinese Medicine help me with?

Kwan Yin (Putoushan Island, China)
Because Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive healthcare system developed over thousands of years, it is able to address many conditions safely and effectively.  It is a holistic system that addresses the whole person--body, mind, and spirit--and seeks to understand the unique balance within each individual, leading to greater overall health and wellness.  TCM effectively manages a wide range of symptoms because it addresses underlying root imbalances which manifest as a variety of symptoms.  A TCM treatment may include acupuncture and herbal medicine, nutritional advice, exercise and lifestyle recommendations.  TCM is not only for times of illness!  It is also effective preventative medicine to maintain on-going, pain-free, vibrant living.
