What is Oriental Medicine?

Oriental Medicine, also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a holistic healthcare system with a history spanning over 3,000 years. It integrates Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, bodywork, and dietary therapy. Additionally, practitioners often incorporate exercise, breathing disciplines, and meditation, such as Chi Gung and Tai Chi, into wellness programs. These therapies harness the body’s inherent vital energy to promote self-healing.

How does it work?

Oriental Medicine is based on an energetic model, unlike the biochemical approach of Western Medicine. It centers on the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), a vital energy that flows through specific pathways called “meridians.” These meridians are linked to physiological systems and organs. Imbalances or deficiencies in Qi can lead to disease. Acupuncture works by stimulating points along the meridians to regulate the body’s energy flow, something Western Medicine cannot do in the same way.

What Can I Expect?

Many conditions may be alleviated very rapidly by Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. However, some conditions that have arisen over the course of years will be relieved only with slow, steady progress. As in any form of healing, the patient's attitude, diet, determination, and lifestyle will affect treatment. Therefore, patients are encouraged to participate in their healing process actively. Although Oriental Medicine can treat most conditions, there are circumstances that Western Medicine can deal with more effectively. In such cases, your acupuncturist will recommend you contact a Western Medical Doctor. Therefore, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine should be seen as complementary to Western Medicine.

Is Acupuncture Painful?

Acupuncture bears no resemblance to the feeling of receiving an injection since the primary source of pain from injections is the larger diameter, hollow needle, and the medications being forced into the tissue by pressure. Acupuncture needles are very fine and flexible, about the diameter of human hair. In most cases, insertion by a skilled practitioner is performed without discomfort. Upon entering, you may experience a mild initial sensation, followed by a tingling, numbness, dull ache, or traveling warmth. However, most patients find the treatments very relaxing and may even fall asleep during treatment.
