What We Do at Metro Acupuncture

At Metro Acupuncture, we offer an integrative approach to healthcare using Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medicine concepts are broad and deep. They are based on a model that views the body as a complex system of relationships rather than individual parts. Chinese Medicine focuses on maintaining balance and health in the individual, contrasted with Western medicine which tends to focus more on individual body parts and pathology.

Integrative medicine is an increasingly popular term in our culture, so it is important to clarify what the term really means. Integrative medicine implies that over time, with ongoing treatment and mindfulness about diet, sleep, and relationships, there will be less division within the body and when looking at the whole, there will be an increasing sense of ease when interacting with others.

Chinese Medicine asks, "what are the constitutional and environmental factors that contribute to imbalance," and "what actions could be taken that would contribute to wellness?" So while Chinese Medicine is wonderful for treating symptoms, it also treats constitution and helps patients realize their highest potential.

Chinese Medicine is a centuries-old system of care that includes acupuncture, herbology, and other techniques such as cupping and moxibustion.
