10.01.2022 Have you been wanting to prioritise your health? Interested in a holistic health approach? Well now is the time to get started! Our Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture service is now back up and running. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years to help prevent and manage many health conditions. ... Western medicine tends to treat the presenting symptoms only, whereas TCM takes more of a holistic approach. It is based on the belief that Qi (the bodys vital energy) flows along meridians (channels) in the body and over its surface. TCM treatments often focus on ways to promote and maintain the flow of this Qi. TCM uses a variety of techniques such as acupressure, acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbs. Our experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Celia can use TCM to manage: Musculoskeletal issues e.g. tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, sciatica Acute and Chronic Pain Disorders Arthritis and Joint Pain Headaches/Migraines Anxiety and/or Stress Fertility Digestive Issues Sporting or Repetitive Strain Injuries Pregnancy Discomfort Cancer Treatment Side Effects e.g. nausea, peripheral neuropathy, dry mouth.
