CHINESE MEDICINE

A HOLISTIC SYSTEM OF TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE

 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of healthcare that has developed over thousands of years. It views health as a balance between different aspects of the body and mind, and considers the individual as a whole rather than focusing only on individual symptoms.

A TCM consultation looks at your main concerns alongside your overall health, lifestyle and wellbeing. This helps to build an individual picture of your health and guide the choice of treatment. 

 

TCM & ITS TREATMENT METHODS

Chinese Medicine is not a single treatment. It is a complete system that includes a range of traditional therapeutic methods.

Depending on your individual needs, a TCM treatment plan may include one or more of the following:

 

Traditional Acupuncture
Fine, sterile needles are inserted at specific points on the body. It is  one of the best-known treatment methods within TCM.

 

Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling (FSN)
A  specialised  needling  technique  commonly  used  for  pain  and 

musculoskeletal conditions.

 

Cupping
The  use  of cups to create suction on the skin. It is traditionally used to support circulation, muscular relaxation and wellbeing.

 

Gua Sha
A  traditional  technique  using  a smooth-edged tool to gently stimulate  the  skin  and  underlying tissues. It may be used for muscular tension, wellbeing and facial treatments.

 

Chinese Herbal Medicine
The use of traditional herbal formulations selected according to an individual's TCM assessment and specific needs.

 

ONE SYSTEM, INDIVIDUALISED TREATMENT

These methods are not necessarily used separately. They can be combined according to your individual needs and treatment goals.

Your treatment approach is determined following consultation and may be adjusted as your needs and response to treatment change.

WHAT CAN TCM SUPPORT?

TCM may be used to support a wide range of health and wellbeing concerns, including:

Pain & Musculoskeletal Health · Women’s Health · Stress & Sleep Digestive Health · Skin Health · General Wellbeing

NOT SURE IF TCM CAN HELP WITH YOUR CONCERN?

If your concern is not listed above, please don't hesitate to contact us for a consultation. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a broad and complex system, and its approach to health and illness differs from conventional Western medicine. Treatment is always individualised and based on your unique needs, rather than simply on a diagnosis or condition name.
