Conditions treated
Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine at Alliance
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a 3,000-year-old system still used by roughly a quarter of the world's population. It centers on Qi (vital energy) moving through the body's meridians; illness reflects disharmony of Qi. Acupuncture needles specific points to clear obstructions and restore flow, helping the body correct imbalances in digestion, absorption, energy production, and circulation. Cupping — suction cups applied to the skin — aids pain, inflammation, blood flow, and deep-tissue release.
