Traditional Chinese Medicine
The combination of acupuncture, herbs, movement, and food is a holistic approach to healthcare that has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese herbs are natural substances, including plants, minerals, and animal products, that are used to address imbalances in the body and promote overall health and wellness. Many kitchen spices, such as ginger and peppermint, are part of Chinese herbal formulas.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy, or qi, and promote healing. Gentle movements can also stimulate qi flow. Practitioners of traditional Chinese can address a wide range of health conditions, including chronic pain, digestive issues, respiratory problems, and mental health disorders.
Personalized Health Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is often effective with a wide range of complaints, including chronic fatigue, depression, back pain, joint pain, infertility, asthma, addictions, and stress. Acupuncture is also helpful for many chronic illnesses and health concerns that have no clear origin or cause. Patients committed to a healthy lifestyle who receive ongoing acupuncture treatment for maintenance and health promotion often experience these benefits:
- Being sick less often and recovering more quickly
- Improving vitality and stamina
- Being able to take care of their own health
- Relationships with others deepening and becoming more harmonious
- Reductions in long-term health care costs
Integrative Health Coaching
Hunter and Teresa Thompson are both certified health coaches. They decided to become health coaches to complement the practice of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. For those who do not wish to utilize either of those modalities, health coaching is a great way to improve lifestyle and benefit wellness in body, mind, and spirit.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is widely regarded as a wonderful complement to acupuncture treatment. Many practitioners use Chinese herbs as a way to offer continual therapeutic input into the body between acupuncture treatments. By taking herbs on a daily basis, the positive momentum created by acupuncture is enhanced.
