The Countryway Acupuncture & Massage Center in Tampa, Fl 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 energy 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. A medical acupuncture treatment is done after the medical evaluation. An acupuncture treatment is based on the Chinese medical diagnosis. TCM mixes common bonds between east and west medical treatments. TCM is where east and west meet to provide up to date medical acupuncture treatments. 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. Dr. Linda O'Connell 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. |
