There are many indications that have benefited from the treatment of Chinese Medicine and with a 2,000 year history, the list is extensive. It is currently used by a quarter of the world’s population, mostly in Asia, and it is growing in popularity in the West as scientific trials prove its efficacy. Although often thought of as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of indications. A TCM practitioner seeks to find the underlying imbalance in the body and treat the root cause as well as the symptoms of the disease. These imbalances can be due to age, emotions, stress, diet, chemicals and other influences.

At ACRH, we use acupuncture, Chinese herbs and Eastern Nutrition to put you back on the path to wellness. At the initial intake, the practitioner will assess your individual pattern by asking you a series of questions, taking your pulse and studying your tongue. Your signs and symptoms will tell us how to treat your underlying pathology that is causing any disharmony in the body.

After this initial assessment, you will be given an acupuncture treatment tailored to you. We use only sterile, disposable needles that are about the diameter of a hair.
