Q: What are the facts behind Traditional Oriental Medicine?
A: TOM is a comprehensive medical system dating back over 3,500 years consisting of
acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet/nutrition, Tui Na (therapeutic structural massage), and Qi-Gung
(medical excersize). TOM offers an individually tailored therapy program for the treatment of
disease, management of chronic disorders, alleviation of pain, stress reduction, and the promotion
of health through prevention and maintenance.
Q: How is Acupuncture treatment performed, and how long does it take for an individual session?
A: An Acupuncture treatment can consist of one or more needles with or without electrical
stimulation. The needles can be retained, depending on the condition, anywhere from 10-40 minutes.
Acupuncture can also very effectively be combined with other modes of therapy such as, but not limited
to, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, and Massage Therapy.
