Treatments

With the ever increasing popularity of Acupuncture, many people are under the impression that Acupuncture is a stand-alone treatment. The reality could hardly be further from this perception. Acupuncture forms part of Chinese Medicine along with other treatments including Herbal Medicine (known as Internal Medicine), Dietary Therapy, Tui Na body work, Bone-Setting, Chi Kung and other.

The Right Treatment for You

When treating a condition, it is vital that the best treatment is used to resolve the condition. Simply put, you can use a fork to eat soup but it's much quicker and easier to use a spoon. Acupuncture is very effective for a wide range of conditions and diseases but there are situations where Chinese Herbal Medicine will be more effective and faster acting. Similarly there are situations that Tui Na bodywork will be the more effective than either Acupuncture or Chinese Herbal Medicine.

Chinese Medicine has long recognised the need to match the most effective treatment to each diseases. This is why modern Chinese Medicine has integrated electro-stimulation, laser point stimulation and sonic point stimulation into it's range of treatments. One of the most exciting research fields in Chinese Medicine is directed at the integration of western biomedical tests into Chinese Medicine including the utilization of MRI's, PET scan and blood tests. This process is likely to take another 10 years but once this is complete, your Chinese Medicine physician will be able to use the western test results and diagnosis as a basis for your Chinese Medicine treatment.
