Create Balance With Traditional Chinese Medicine in Toronto

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, an ancient and culturally specific healthcare system, continues to thrive worldwide due to its effective and holistic protocols. Drawing upon thousands of years of wisdom, TCM seeks to treat ailments at their root cause and restore balance across all aspects of one's being, encompassing the intangible qi and the tangible body. By harmonizing mind, body, and spirit, Total Wellness Centre's traditional Chinese medicine in Toronto provides a comprehensive approach to wellness that transcends cultural boundaries.

What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, often refers to acupuncture, herbal formulas, and their theoretical basis. It also includes Tuina/Shiatsu massage therapy, diet counselling and modification, and lifestyle counselling. Traditionally, Chinese medicine was a theory of nature, health, and disease. The forces underlying the approach are described as:

  • Yin and Yang;

  • The Three Essences;

  • Five Elements;

  • Eight Principles of Therapy; and,

  • The Fourteen Meridians.

Health can be achieved and maintained when all the underlying forces and systems are in harmony and balance.


What to Expect From Our Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic

Our team of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners are well-versed in both acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, catering to patients specifically seeking acupuncture. Rest assured, we prioritize safety by exclusively utilizing sterile, single-use acupuncture needles.

A typical acupuncture session typically lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. Any discomfort experienced is minimal, usually, a brief sensation as the needles are inserted, and potentially a mild ache, indicating that the acupuncture needles have been placed at the appropriate depth. To enhance your comfort during treatments, we may incorporate relaxation techniques.

Initially, treatment sessions are scheduled weekly, but as your response to treatment progresses, we customize the frequency of sessions to meet your individual needs.

Total Wellness Centre provides diverse TCM treatment modalities to assist you effectively.
