What is Traditional Chinese Medicine - Mount Gambier Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

TCM is holistic.

Your TCM practitioner will view your body as a whole, rather than just focusing on one symptom. When providing diagnosis and treatment, we take into account not only your physical state of health, but also your lifestyle, emotions, and your spiritual health. By targeting the root of the problem, we help you to achieve longer lasting results.

TCM is a safe and natural alternative.

With thousands of years of accumulated clinical experience, TCM is safe and natural, and produces few, if any, side effects.

Treatment is personalised and targeted.

In Western Medicine, patients suffering from the same disease will almost always receive the same treatment. However, in Chinese Medicine, we treat the person and not the disease, as identical diseases may have vastly different causes.

In-depth examination of your health.

Your treatment will always include a thorough and careful examination of your health. This includes in-depth enquiry into your diet, emotions and physical wellbeing. We will observe your outward appearance, and also examine your tongue and pulse to help us gain an understanding of your state of health.

Prevention is better than cure.

We provide lifestyle and dietary education with every treatment. This allows you to not only overcome disease, but to take proactive steps towards the promotion and maintenance of your own health.
