Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

For thousands of years, healthcare professionals have used Traditional Chinese Medicine to prevent and treat illness through practices like acupuncture, movement therapies, herbal remedies and mindful eating. Traditional Chinese Medicine views health as a balance between opposites — like yin and yang — and seeks to create harmony by restoring the body’s natural flow of energy (chi). As a complement to conventional treatments, it can be effective for various conditions, including headaches, stress, fatigue and chronic illnesses.

At Sutter, our credentialed practitioners take a preventive approach to help restore balance and bolster your health. We offer Qigong classes to increase circulation and physical fitness, as well as herbal medicine targeted to specific conditions, like weak digestion or migraines. If you’re dealing with chronic pain or nausea, acupuncture may help reduce your symptoms. Our acupuncturists use thin needles to relieve pain by stimulating energy along pathways known as meridians.
