In TCM, the body’s health depends on the smooth flow of Qi, or life energy, through a network of meridians. When this energy is disrupted, it can lead to physical or emotional symptoms.

Traditional Medical Acupuncture works by:

• Stimulating specific acupuncture points to correct imbalances

• Improving the flow of Qi and blood

• Calming the nervous system and reducing tension

• Supporting the body’s organs and internal systems

• Encouraging long-term harmony and health

This approach sees the body as an interconnected whole and considers the impact of stress, emotions, lifestyle, and environment.

Compared to other modern forms of acupuncture, Traditional Medical Acupuncture:

• Follows a diagnostic framework based on TCM principles

• Considers the balance of Yin and Yang, and internal organ systems

• Uses pulse, tongue, and symptom observation for diagnosis

• Often includes additional techniques like cupping, moxibustion, and dietary guidance

Rather than targeting a single symptom, this method supports your body as a complete system.

Traditional Medical Acupuncture is used to support a wide range of conditions, including:

• Musculoskeletal pain and stiffness

• Headaches and migraines

• Stress and anxiety

• Hormonal imbalances

• Sleep issues and insomnia

• Digestive complaints

• Fatigue and low energy

• Menstrual or fertility concerns

Whether your concern is recent or chronic, physical or emotional, traditional acupuncture can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

A typical session includes:

• A detailed health history and discussion about your symptoms

• Examination (core TCM diagnostic tools)

• Gentle insertion of very fine needles into specific points

• A 15–25 minute rest period while your body responds to treatment

• Optional use of moxa or cupping if appropriate

Your treatment is always tailored to your individual constitution and current health state.
