Traditional Chinese Medicine Schools teach an effective, low cost alternative approach that works in harmony with the body's natural ability to heal. Acupuncture is the oldest and most common form of the Traditional Chinese Medicine procedures, having been performed for over three thousand years. Practiced by a fourth of the world's population today, Traditional Chinese Medicine considers all diseases to be related to imbalance in vital energy, or Qi, and returning health to the body and the spirit are accomplished through rebalancing, which will initiate the healing processes.

Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis involves conventional procedures of observation, listening, checking the pulse, and questioning the patient, but treatment focuses on the wellbeing of whole person - body, mind, and spirit - not just on the symptoms or complaint - with the intent of stimulating the release of blocked energy. Treatments using Traditional Chinese Medicine return the proper flow of energy, which allows the return of normal equilibrium. This, in turn, enables the body to heal itself naturally.

Clinicians of Traditional Chinese Medicine make evaluations, recommend herbal formulas and dietary changes, and perform massage and moxibustion, among practice other non-invasive techniques to return a perfect balance of yin and yang energy.
