Chinese Medicine is the oldest continuously practiced system of medicine in the world, dating back over 2,000 years. It includes therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, Gua Sha, and herbal medicine.
Unlike Western medicine, which often focuses on mechanical treatment of disease, Chinese Medicine emphasizes prevention, balance, and overall well-being. Historically, doctors in China were even paid to keep patients healthy—if the patient became ill, treatment was free until they recovered.
At the core of Chinese Medicine is the principle that a body in harmony tends toward health and sustainability.
Two key concepts form this foundation:
Qi travels through a system of meridians, or energy pathways. When Qi becomes blocked or deficient, it can lead to illness, dysfunction, and pain.
Acupuncture uses fine filiform needles inserted at precise points along the meridians to restore balance and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
By adjusting the flow of Qi, acupuncture nourishes the organs, muscles, tissues, and cells, improving function and overall health.
One of the most well-researched benefits of acupuncture is its effectiveness in managing chronic pain.
A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that:
“Acupuncture is effective for the treatment of chronic pain and is therefore a reasonable referral option.”
Beyond pain management, acupuncture has been shown to support recovery, reduce stress, and improve quality of life for patients with a wide range of conditions.
