Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture and Chinese Massage

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been helping people feel better for over 2000 years. If you are struggling with fatigue, insomnia, poor digestion, allergies or are in pain, why not let Acupuncture and Chinese Massage help you too! Our Acupuncturist, Heather Valente, wants to help you feel healthy and vibrant again.

Traditional Chinese Medicine works by balancing the body’s energy force (Qi).  Any number of things can cause the body to become unbalanced; such as stress, overwork, trauma, poor diet, emotional issues or weather changes. A diagnosis is based on understanding each patient’s individual pattern of disharmony. This disharmony means the body is not working as efficiently as it can. Acupuncture works by unblocking the congestion of Qi in the meridians of the body. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can be used to help restore the body’s energy, if the I is not sufficient

Chinese Massage can be used to promote relaxation or to reduce muscle spasm and tension. It involves muscle manipulation and acupressure, similar to trigger points, to unblock the stagnated Qi. This stagnation of I and blood cause pain in the body. Chinese Massage increases the circulation of blood and Qi to the area, which reduces the pain or discomfort. Chinese Massage can be used for any type of muscle pain or injury.

Heather Valente also practices Chinese Herbal Medicine and uses other Chinese modalities, such as cupping and moxibustion.
