The 6 Core TCM Therapies
Each modality has been practiced for millennia and refined through modern clinical standards.
1. Acupuncture & Electro-Therapy (针灸)
Fine sterile micro-needles placed along specific meridian pathways stimulate neural transmitters, release deep muscular triggers, and accelerate endorphin pain modulation. Combined with electro-stimulation for targeted nerve and disc recovery.
- Lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, and lower back tension
- Frozen shoulder, neck strain, and postural tension headaches
- ACC sports sprains, tendonitis, and joint trauma rehabilitation
2. Moxibustion (艾灸)
Gentle thermal warming using dried medicinal mugwort (Artemisia argyi). The penetrating infrared heat dispels damp-cold stagnation from deep joint capsules and invigorates Qi flow.
- Chronic winter arthritic joints and cold stiffness
- Digestive coldness, fatigue, and low vitality
3. Cupping Therapy (拔罐)
Specialised glass cups applied with gentle thermal vacuum to create negative pressure. Pulls stagnant metabolic waste to the surface and relieves bound connective tissue.
- Persistent trapezius and upper back knots
- Athletic recovery and lactic acid clearance
4. Acupressure / Tuina (推拿)
TCM therapeutic massage employing rhythmic pressing, rolling, and traction along meridian lines to unlock muscular spasms and restore joint articulation.
- Computer-desk cervical strain and tight shoulders
- Effective needle-free alternative for sensitive patients
5. Herbal Remedy (天然中药)
Individualised botanical prescriptions compounded from natural roots, barks, and seeds. Formulated to rectify internal organ disharmony, immune depletion, and metabolic stress.
- Digestive harmony, IBS, and reflux balancing
- Insomnia, hormonal restoration, and energy depletion
6. Gua Sha Therapy (刮痧)
Instrument-assisted unidirectional stroking across lubricated skin using polished medical jade or buffalo horn. Stimulates micro-vascular blood perfusion and releases recalcitrant fascial adhesions.
- Acute neck stiffness and rotational restrictions
- Early cold wind-heat dispersion and immune defense
- Chronic upper thoracic myofascial pain
