…and what can TCM treat?
Almost anyone can benefit from TCM. You do not need to have a disease or even symptoms to experience the benefits of a general health maintenance plan. A few common examples of problems that TCM can help treat include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Pregnancy – nausea/morning sickness, aches/pains, hemorrhoids, labor induction, fetus malposition. You can read much more in depth about how pregnancy can be made more comfortable through the use of Acupunture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
- breech baby
- New moms – lactation problems, postpartum care
- Athletes keeping in top shape to weekend warriors – back, knee, TMJ, shoulder, neck, and body pains–including frozen shoulder and tennis/golf elbow
- Daily stress/anxiety in work or personal life, hypertension
- Digestive disorders – diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, nausea
- Women’s health – painful/irregular periods, amenorrhea, fertility problems, premenstrual syndrome, menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweating)
- Sleep disturbances – insomnia, trouble falling asleep/staying asleep, chronic fatigue
