A: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the oldestmedical systems in the world (2500 years old) and has been used to treat any and all health complaints. The main modalities used in TCM include Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tui Na Massage, as well as Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle counseling. TCM was introduced to North America in the 70s and 80s. Both Acupuncture and TCM became a regulated health profession in Ontario in 2013. The foundational theories of TCM are based on the concepts of balance (yin yang theory) and nature (five element theory). It sees our health as a reflection of our surroundings and the environment. When we are living balanced lives we are disease and symptom free. However when we become unbalanced - physically, mentally, or spiritually - over time, illness and disease can develop. TheTCM approach to treatment is based on your specific group of signs and symptoms, not your western medical diagnosis.This is why TCM is unique and demonstrates one of its strengths. For the same reason, one does not need a diagnosis in order to treat symptoms. Therefore TCM works well for those suffering from chronic conditions and multi-system health problems.
