What We Do
Traditional Solutions provides a holistic path to pain relief and wellness. You will receive a comprehensive health assessment that examines not only physical signs and symptoms, but mental and emotional factors related to your condition as well. Once your condition has been assessed, and clear goals have been established, you will receive an individualized treatment plan that utilizes one or more of the following modalities:
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the use of fine-gauge, sterile, disposable needles at specific points on the body to promote healing and engender wellness. Acupuncture has been practiced in Asia for more than 2,500 years and is a core component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Stimulating pressure points that lie along a network of energy channels provides the body with a “physiological nudge” that facilitates resolution of imbalances and restoration of optimal health.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is an essential part of TCM and is often used alongside acupuncture. Our clinic uses more than 500 different substances, and while many are precursors to pharmaceuticals, Chinese herbs are left in their whole, natural state. By combining herbs in the traditional manner, formulas are customized to suit each individual’s health goals.
Herbs are administered as traditional teas, tablets, powders, or external applications.
Physical Modalities
Within TCM there are a variety of manual techniques that manipulate the meridians to provide balance and well being:
Dietary Therapy
Traditional Chinese medicine is, at its core, a preventative medicine, and the foundation for good health begins with the food we eat. At Traditional Solutions, we analyze your constitution, current diet, and treatment goals to provide you with personalized dietary guidelines that help you fulfill your health potential.
Reiki
Alexa has received training in Reiki, an ancient Japanese healing technique. In these gentle, hands-on sessions, the patient’s energy is realigned, leaving the patient recharged and rebalanced.
Aromatherapy
Essential oils derived from plants, flowers, and other botanicals are used topically, inhaled, diffused or used as a soak to improve physical and emotional well-being. Aromatherapy is especially helpful for children, and can be beneficial in certain pain conditions.
Holistic Health Consultation
During this 30 minute session, we will discuss how your health concerns can best be addressed employing the time-tested principals of traditional Chinese medicine. By exploring your history and current health landscape, we will work with you to set attainable goals to improve your lifestyle, and regain control of your health.
