What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a 5000 year old complete diagnostic treatment system from China that can treat and prevent illness. Acupuncture is the main component to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As TCM practitioners, we believe that all beings have a life energy called Qi (pronounced chee). This energy flows throughout the body along specific pathways called Meridians. When the flow of energy is blocked, we experience pain, sickness or more imbalances. Acupuncture restores health and harmony through the insertion of fine, single-use, pre-sterilized needles at specific points chosen in accordance with the patients individual needs and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis.

Metta Oriental Clinic's board certified practitioners are trained to use a holistic approach to medicine, not looking for one exact reason for illness; but rather, acknowledging that there are several factors that contribute to problems arising in the physical body. They look at multiple symptoms and their pattern of illness specific to the individual and delineates their cause from a combination of negative imbalances within the lifestyle, psyche, and effects of environmental stress, trauma or invasion by external pathogens.

People of all ages can be treated with acupuncture for a variety of ailments including migraines, IBS, chronic fatigue, menopause, pms, arthritis, and infertility.
