Short profile:
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which goes back over two thousand years and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The aim of acupuncture treatment is to restore the body's equilibrium thus restoring the balance and promoting well being. What makes this system so uniquely suited to modern life is that physical and emotional symptoms are seen as interdependent that both need to be taken into account when diagnosing and treating a patient. This means that acupuncture is a complete holistic approach to healthcare.
Detailed description:
Chinese philosophy never separated Mind and Body in the way that happened in the West, and so acupuncture is believed to help with emotional problems as well as physical ones. This is often seen as enhanced states of relaxation brought about by the needling process. For physical problems Traditional Acupuncture is often combined with manual bodywork such as massage or stretching to tackle pain and any underlying disorders. Chinese Traditional Acupuncture is the main style practised here at Golders Green Acupuncture, and is the same method currently being used in Chinese hospitals.
This style is based on ideas first developed over 2, 000 years ago which have undergone constant revision. The ancient Chinese asserted that the body has a natural energy (Qi, or chi) that flows via a network of channels (or meridians).These channels connect the inside of the body to the outside, and if they become blocked, the Qi is unable to flow thus creating stagnation which is felt as pain. Acupuncture aims to stimulate Qi flow and resolve stagnation, restoring the channel network to a harmonious balance.
