Traditional Chinese Medicine:
Using pulse and tongue diagnosis and traditional Chinese herbs is an ancient and well-established practice that provides an entirely different way of looking at, and approaching health and wellness. Often treatment is combined with acupuncture, moxa and cupping.
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is the process of inserting very small needles into the tissue to create a local and/or systemic response. At TriPoint Health we only use single-use needles.
At TriPoint Health we perform acupuncture in 2 main ways:
- Meridian Acupuncture: the process of inserting needles into specific known acupuncture points in an effort to move Qi throughout the meridians and the body. Points are determined based upon the condition being treated.
- Intramuscular Acupuncture: the process of inserting acupuncture needles into muscles in a particular way in order to relieve muscle tension and relax hypertonic muscles.
