Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):

Traditional Chinese Medicne, or TCM, is considered a form of complimentary or alternative medicine in the West. TCM theory asserts that processes of the human body are interrelated and in constant interaction with the environment.  TCM uses needles (acupunture), herbs, nutrition and massage to treat patients pain and diseases.

TCM is based on a number of theories including: Yin (negative) and Yang(positive),  Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal,water), Zang Xiang (organs), Qi (energy) and body fluid (blood) meridians.  

Although TCM has been used for thousands of years in the East, it has a relatively young history in the West.  President Nixon first introduced Acupunture and Chinese medicine to the United States after returning from a trip to China in 1972.  During the trip, one of the members of his party had to have an emergency appendectomy and had acupunture performed during the surgery for anesthesia and pain relief.

Since that time,   the N.I.H. (National Institutes of Health) has formed the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine to lead the Federal government in further research in acupunture and TCM.

Several organizations and major universities are currently involved in academic research in this field.

The American Cancer Society has helped to educate many patients on the benefits of acupunture to aid in control and nausea and pain during chemotherapy and cancer treatments.
