HealthPoint provides acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine health services from licensed, nationally board certified acupuncturists. Our services are grounded in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the officially sanctioned professional traditional medicine of China that has been used successfully to treat millions of individuals for thousands of years.

‘Oriental medicine’ describes various East Asian diagnostic and therapeutic health services, most commonly acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, which originated in China thousands of years ago. Unlike the many folk medicines of the East, TCM is the professional, sanctioned form of these practices as used in China today. It evolved from the great Classical (Confucian) literate physician-scholars of ancient China and the scholarly tradition remains vibrant today.

HealthPoint practitioners make every attempt to adhere to the canon of ancient Chinese medical literature as well as to the continually evolving contemporary TCM medical research and literature. This adherence to the foundational and contemporary literature of traditional Chinese medicine form the basis and the parameters for the practice of Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and other TCM modalities at HealthPoint. 

HealthPoint uses the term ‘Oriental medicine’ because in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, our services include medical qigong, shiatsu massage, chi nei tsang, and other health services based on TCM theory.
