My mission is to provide gentle, affordable, accessible, quality health care services in the Eight Branches of TCM, and to treat the whole person, providing services, information and resources for wellness, preventative and self-care management in order to increase the health and well-being of those seeking Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture/TCM is one of the fastest growing forms of health care in the United States.
This popularity is due to the recognition by consumers and regulators of the safety, effectiveness and low cost provided by this form of health care. According to columnist Jane Brody the FDA reported that over one million Americans spent about $500 million each year to receive 12 million acupuncture treatments. The wide variety of holistic therapies are often referred to as 'Complementary and Alternative Medicine', or CAM therapies. You will see this term throughout the internet, in publications as well as classes offered in medical schools.
