Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient yet sophisticated healing system. It employs a number of therapies (acupuncture, herbology, moxibustion, tui na, food cures) to support the body, eliminate pathogens and promote balanced health. Many health concerns can be addressed by this medical system. Problems of a chronic nature, where the body’s delicate balance has been compromised, respond particularly well.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of therapy developed as part of the traditional medical systems of the Far East. This gentle and calming procedure stimulates specific points on the body to encourage healing, relieve pain, release tight muscles, and improve the body’s internal functioning.

Dr. Michael Asks some important questions of interest to Calgary residents - Chiropractor Calgary Dr. Michael Asks...

Why is a "slipped disc" unlikely?
Separating each spinal vertebra is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a jelly-like material. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones above and below it, it can't actually "slip." However, a disc can bulge, tear, herniate, thin and collapse. But it can't slip.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Calgary chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
