Why try acupuncture?
For thousands of years acupuncture has been used for the prevention, treatment and management of diseases and injuries. Acupuncture provides safe, low side effect and relatively painless treatment and can complement existing medical care to improve outcomes.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
TCM is a system of care using acupuncture, cupping, guasha, herbal medicine and dietary advice to address root causes and symptoms. Meridian combines traditional insight with modern clinical reasoning.
Who can benefit?
Acupuncture and TCM can benefit all ages — infants through seniors — with individualized approaches (e.g., pediatric tuina for young children).
