Helping you
help yourself
Active Life Health Clinic is a natural health practice that employs
the ancient approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Methods of
treatment include acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbals, Chinese
food cures, western nutrition and supplements, and tui na
massage. We offer treatment in our clinic as well as on-site
workplace wellness programs with Active Life
Mobile Health Services.
Our
Philosophy
We strongly believe in the importance of "active" health care. Our goal
is to work in partnership with you to bring you to your optimal health.
We believe that we are guides, teachers, and motivators. Using proven
health modalities that bring about whole-being balance, our focus is on
ongoing health, not just temporary relief. This is what we call active
health.
With this in mind, in addition to receiving treatment in the
clinic, we will teach you ways to speed up your own healing process by
advising you about specific foods, exercises, acupressure points,
self-massage, and relaxation techniques best suited to your condition.
We would also like to send you periodic updates on health issues,
treatments, healthy recipes, and lecture venues. If you would like to
receive these email newsletters (one every 4-6 weeks). sign up here
Pain Management and
Relief
While acupuncture and TCM can treat a diverse range of symptoms,
complaints, and illnesses, acupuncture is probably most widely
recognized for its ability to treat pain, both acute and chronic. Often
used historically in the treatment of martial arts injuries, Chinese
herbs are also very effective alternatives to prescription painkillers.
Of course we should also make sure not to neglect the power of food. As
Hippocrates said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your
food", and he was right as some foods have been shown to have
anti-inflammatory benefits. TCM can be used as either an alternative
medicine or complementary medicine to standard medical therapies.
