TCM STYLE ACUPUNCTURE

TCM Style Acupuncture utilizes several methods to improve your overall health and fix any health problems that you have. We execute this treatment approach by believing that human beings live in a universe wherein all things – whether living or non-living are interconnected. With that, expect your body and mind to be viewed as vital parts of an energetic system, instead of being perceived separately.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture is the most widely used system of acupuncture, using points located on the 12 meridians and extraordinary meridians and was used and developed over 2000 years.
