Thank you for visiting Yin Yang Balance & Wellness!

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the oldest comprehensive medical systems, dating back more than 2500 years. It includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tuina massage, nutrition, and exercise. In many Asian countries, this medical system is used as a primary health care. (Each country developed their own unique form of Chinese Medicine: taken together they are called Oriental Medicine).

In TCM, each being is valued as a "whole" where every part of the mind and body are closely connected.

From thousands of years of clinical experience, TCM developed a sophisticated approach to evaluating patients.

At a typical visit to Yin Yang Balance and Wellness, an acupuncturist will feel your pulse on both wrists, check your tongue, and feel your abdomen in order to see the internal condition of the body. Diagnosis is based on examining the whole body, taking into account skin complexion, lifestyle, Qi energy, and emotions. A thorough consultation and examination is of great importance in order to properly diagnose and treat the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Treatment will restore the inner balance, or homeostasis, allowing the body to heal itself.
