Oriental Medicine has been practice for over 2.000 years. It is a comprehensive system for the diagnosis and effective treatment of acute and chronic disorders as well as preventive health care and maintenance.
In general, pain and muscular symptoms are more effectively treated by acupuncture, while diseases of the skin and internal organs are more effectively with herbs. However it is necessary for a doctor of oriental medicine to make a diagnosis before deciding what type of treatment would be most effective for a patient.
Oriental Medicine treats individuals on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. Some show rapid improvement in a few treatments, but more treatments may be needed for those whose conditions developed over a long period of time.
