What is Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated, and prevented illness for over 2,500 years. Established in China, this traditional medical system is based on twelve Yin/Yang organs, twelve Meridians, and how your life energy (or also referred to as QI) moves through your body to sustain your health and vitality.

Upon your first initial visit to Marlborough Wellness Center, you will share in an extensive evaluation process based on your main complaint(s). This will include the completion of medical questionnaires/forms and an in-depth question/answer opportunity with your practitioner. This will provide your practitioner with a comprehensive look at your body and how it functions. Your practitioner will then create an individual therapeutic plan that will reflect a holistic picture of what your body may need. Upon the completion of the initial evaluation, the practitioner will initiate your first treatment to target your specific diagnosis and condition.

Through the use of natural herbs, sterile acupuncture needles, and unique needling techniques, Traditional Chinese Medicine can address a variety of health complaints, assist in fortifying your immunity, and strengthen your personal capacity for pleasure, work, and creativity.
