What We Do

Traditional Solutions provides a holistic path to pain relief and wellness. Each patient receives a comprehensive health assessment that examines not only physical factors, 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:

  • Tui Na: Therapeutic bodywork to alleviate pain and tension
  • Gua Sha: A smooth carved jadestone is rubbed along tight, rigid muscles, to break up stagnation
  • Cupping: Small glass cups attached to the skin create a vacuum to open and expand energy flow along muscles
  • Qi Gong: Postures, movements, and breathing exercises passed on for thousands of years that aid in the cultivation of balance, relaxation and longevity

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.
