What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient method of Chinese medicine.
A fine, wire-thin sterile needle is used as a tool to stimulate the "chi" or energy through the blood and body.
The needles are placed on specific nerve points on the body.
There is a map of channels of acupuncture points throughout the body in which acupuncturists rely on.
The stimulation given by the thin needle helps release this energy to enhance better blood circulation, chi, and energy,
which in turn releases the pressure or pain in areas of the body.
Additionally, the stimulation of the nerves boosts metabolism.
What is Tui Na?
Tui na is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a form of Chinese manipulative therapy. It is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese Taoist and martial art principles to bring the body to balance.
The treatment includes brushing, kneading, rolling/pressing and rubbing the areas between each of the joints (known as the eight gates) to open the body"s defensive chi and get the energy moving in
the meridians as well as the muscles.
A range of motion, traction, massage, with the stimulation of acupressure points is also used to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Chinese herbal medicine?

Other combination of herbs can help the body boost metabolism, clean toxins from the body, and relieve pain.Chinese herbs not only help for current pain or problems, however it is a good source of prevention medicine.
