Acupuncture Vs Western Medicine

In Western Medicine, most of the times patients are simply told to get a good night’s sleep and drink plenty of water. Although this is helpful, it does not really address the real issue, the body is not producing enough energy to function at an optimal level.

​

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we seek to correct the body’s imbalances causing fatigue. By unifying the body’s qi and its digestive function that produces qi, we can help bring the body back into balance, increasing the level of energy, so you feel yourself again.
