Oriental medicine (OM), also known as Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a healing art that existed in some form or other for more than 3,000 years. Some of the earlier texts date back from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE to 220 ACE). In the western world, it is commonly known as acupuncture. However, acupuncture is only one of several modalities that physicians of TCM use to treat patients. TCM emphasizes the role of the body in the healing process and uses herbs and natural agents to maintain health. It is an effective form of treatment and a particularly safe form of therapy. TCM is a complete medical system that takes into account every aspect of human life to promote health and well-being. It sees the body as one whole entity like a “Garden” and encompasses its physical, emotional, energetic, as well as its spiritual aspects. It emphasizes on the “Vis medicatrix” the “healing power of nature” better known as “the inborn ability of the human body to respond to the insult of illness or injury and restore itself to health in most episodes of disease or trauma (Whorton, 2002, p. 6).” The goal for treatment is boosting the ecological condition to favor self-regulatory capacity. Physicians in the eastern world are trained to examine skin, complexion, bones, channels, smells, sounds, mental state, preferences, emotions, tongue, pulse, demeanor, and body build to discern patterns that underlie a patient’s complaints. TCM’s wholistic approach to healing addresses the underlying cause of disease, and allows the body to heal itself naturally. Physicians are taught to treat the cause not just the symptoms of an illness so that the body can function more efficiently and therefore ensuring true health.

Optimize Your Health
Would you rather live your life in pain, discomfort and agony or being healthy, happy and pain free? Obviously you'd pick the second option. Our healthcare system is unfortunately not designed to fit this situation. Although we spend more money on healthcare than any other developed country in the whole world, we're also the sickest! We have a higher incidence of chronic diseases that not only shorten your life expectancy, but also cause you to feel pain, discomfort and other life-limiting factors each day. Currently, our system is focused on keeping you alive, but also keeping you sick. Wouldn't it be nice to have the best of bother worlds - longevity AND good health!? Well the great news is that you absolutely can!
Many people have been led to believe that experiencing daily aches and pains is a normal part of life. Well, it doesn't have to be that way. There are a number of things that can be done to reduce and possibly even eliminate a number of the symptoms that are keeping you or your loved ones from enjoying life to the fullest. People who visit chiropractors consistently report not only an improvement in their symptoms, but also a feeling of overall improved well-being. Realize that chances are the aches and pains that you are experiencing now are not going to improve on their own. In fact, if inflammation and irritation are ignored long enough, it can lead to permanent tissue damage. Chiropractic focuses on prevention of these damages by promoting proper joint health and alignment. It is our goal to help you keep doing the things you love and continue to enjoy life! For a more detailed explanation of how and why chiropractic works, visit the "What is Chiropractic" tab at the top of the page. For even more information on whether it might be right for you, read Step Five of our eBook which is available to download for free on our home page! Dr. Fleming's ebook will give you a number of tips and tricks that you can start using right now to make noticeable improvements in your health.
