Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the formal term for the combined therapies of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Moxibustion and other healing modalities. TCM theory achieves good health by balancing energies in the body using these several methods. The theory has evolved over thousands of years and is safe and highly effective. TCM uses a "holistic" approach, meaning it treats any individual problem by treating the whole body at the same time. A patient can expect TCM to provide benefits for virtually any illness, and many people choose a TCM practitioner as their primary healthcare provider.

Acupuncture employs the use of fine needles along defined meridians in the body. Acupuncture can be very effective in reducing or eliminating pain, but is also instrumental in treating internal medicine issues as well. A common misconception about acupuncture is that there are specific acupuncture points that cure specific diseases. In fact, the treatments and needling points are custom tailored for the individual. It is more accurate to say that there are specific acupuncture points which cure specific imbalances. Two patients with the same illness or symptom may have different imbalances and thereforedifferent acupuncture treatments.
