Here in the West we often equate Chinese medicine with acupuncture, in fact Chinese medicine is a group of modalities that are often used together both to restore health and to maintain it. Acupuncture is the most well known of these methods. Chinese herbal medicine, while used to a lesser extent here in the West, has an equally long history and in Asia is used even more frequently than acupuncture.
Here at Yong Kang, in our Traditional Chinese medicine clinic we use both of these natural and effective modalities to treat a wide range of conditions.
In addition to these two mainstays of Chinese medicine we frequently use cupping, heat therapy, massage and nutritional counseling along with lifestyle considerations to help you gently and naturally maintain an optimum balance in life.
