PHILOSOPHY

The Qi Spot was founded in 2006 to create a virtually pain free Chinese Medicine Clinic that heals the body as well as the Soul.

The goal is to have a very gentle environment in every aspect of the word. We strive to create a space where you can escape the harshness of reality and relax in a healing environment.

Come see for yourself, it doesn't have to hurt to work.

The Qi Spot is a full-featured Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic treating pain and disease, depression and anxiety, women's health, men's health, fertility and much, much more.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the formal term for the combined therapies of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Moxibustion and other healing modalities. TCM theory achieves good health by balancing energies in the body using these several methods. The theory has evolved over thousands of years and is safe and highly effective. TCM uses a "holistic" approach, meaning it treats any individual problem by treating the whole body at the same time. A patient can expect TCM to provide benefits for virtually any illness, and many people choose a TCM practitioner as their primary healthcare provider.

Acupuncture employs the use of fine needles along defined meridians in the body. Acupuncture can be very effective in reducing or eliminating pain, but is also instrumental in treating internal medicine issues as well. A common misconception about acupuncture is that there are specific acupuncture points that cure specific diseases. In fact, the treatments and needling points are custom tailored for the individual. It is more accurate to say that there are specific acupuncture points which cure specific imbalances. Two patients with the same illness or symptom may have totally different imbalances and therefore totally different acupuncture treatments.

Chinese Herbs are sometimes not as well known as the practice of acupuncture. Nonetheless, the herbs are actually just as important to your TCM therapy as your acupuncture treatment. Chinese Herbs are based on the same theories as acupuncture and allow your therapy to continue when you are away from the clinic. The Qi Spot Acupuncture clinic administers herbs in various forms including raw herbs, pills, powders, teas, and tinctures. Great care is taken in selecting the form of herb that assures maximum results and best matches the patient's lifestyle.

Acupuncture For Fertility
Many couples are discovering that there are many factors that can contribute to difficulty in conceiving. Fortunately, your body was designed with one thing in mind: reproduction. Traditional Chinese Medicine tackles fertility like anything else, by restoring your body to its natural balanced state. The Qi Spot Acupuncture clinic treats both men and women who are trying to conceive with or without IVF. Patients are encouraged to attempt TCM treatments before investing their time and money into an in vitro program. However, recent studies have shown that patients who do acupuncture concurrently with their IVF treatments are more likely to conceive than those who do IVF alone.
