The Countryway Acupuncture & Massage Center is an oriental medicine clinic that
specializes in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is an ancient medical
model based on the premise that illness occurs when there is an imbalance in
the energetic system of the body.
When the meridians, (energy channels) are open and flowing in harmony,
there is wellness; disharmony interrupts the free flow of qi (energy) which
leads to illness or discomfort. The TCM diagnostic procedure
is a detailed process that includes a comprehensive medical review, a
thorough evaluation of psychosomatic (mind – body) signs and symptoms,
energetic signs and symptoms, and an assessment of the tongue and pulse. TCM treatment modalities
include acupuncture, Tui Na (massage), auricular therapy, moxa, cupping, heat
and herbal medicine. Electrical
stimulation is sometimes used as an adjunctive therapy. The acupuncture physician may also
make dietary and lifestyle
recommendations based on the diagnostic syndrome. TCM is a holistic approach to health care and total well being. TCM focuses on restoring
balance and harmony to the body.
Basic TCM principles suggest that a balanced body is a healthy body. Our
goal is to help restore the body to a balanced and harmonious state and then
to maintain that status. |
