About TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) originated over 5000 years ago.  It is based on a theory of vital energy called Qi.  Qi flows with in the body along specific pathways called  meridians.  Each meridian has a specific physiological system and internal organ.

In TCM theory when there is an imbalance of Qi poor health and disease may arise.  TCM has developed a comprehensive system of health care.  TCM has also developed diagnosis and treatment for the prevention and treatment of disease.

In ancient China Acupuncturist were paid to keep their patients healthy.
If illness would arise they were not paid until health was restored.  Our Goal is to introduce traditional Chinese Medicine as means to maintaining health as well as treating existing conditions of illness.
