About Chinese Medicine

We offer TCM as part of our therapeutic program to promote overall health and wellness and to treat illness and disease.

Carmen has a doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is a registered TCM Practitioner.

TCM uses herbs, acupuncture, cupping, manual therapy and dietary changes to combat bodily ailments and improve overall health. It traces its roots to thousands of years ago when herbal medications and acupuncture were put into use to successfully treat a wide variety of medical conditions. What sets TCM apart is that the treatment approach is based off of diagnosing a syndrome pattern. To reach a diagnosis, the practitioner is looking at the entire body system and how each part is interacting with the other; not only with itself but also the environment around. We therefore will treat one disease many different ways depending on the patient’s presentation. A truly individualized approach to wellness.

Chinese herbal medicines can be used on their own to treat health problems and are also highly effective in combination with other therapies.
