How Do I Know if Chinese Medicine Can Help Me?
Chinese medicine is a system that has a concept of normal organ and physiological function. Treatment seeks to resolve patterns of disease and illness that deviate from that ideal. Your Chinese medicine diagnosis is what drives the treatment strategy we will craft together. Different treatment tools (e.g., acupuncture, herbal medicine, etc.) may be used in your care depending on your overall presentation and unique needs.
Some common types of conditions that people seek treatment for:
- Pain
- Musculoskeletal
- Psychoemotional
- Neurological
- Gastrointestinal
- Genitourinary & reproductive
- Respiratory (including colds/flu)
Chinese medicine also functions as a form of preventative medicine.
