Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a rich and diverse history that spans over 2,000 years. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, it places a strong emphasis on achieving balance and harmony between the body’s internal systems and the external environment. Central to TCM are the concepts of Yin and Yang, Qi (vital energy), and the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water). These principles advocate for a holistic approach to health, focusing on treating the body as a whole rather than just addressing isolated symptoms.
From a TCM perspective, acupuncture works by correcting imbalances in the body’s energy pathways. Modern science has shown that acupuncture may stimulate the nervous system, releasing chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These changes enhance the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies acupuncture needles as medical devices, ensuring they meet the highest safety standards. Licensed practitioners follow strict sourcing guidelines and rely on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and personal medical training to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each patient.
