The age-old science of Chinese tui-na medicine revolves around the use of the physician hands to diagnose through palpation and treat disease and illness with a variety of manual techniques.
These treatments are done without the use of devices or drugs, relying solely on the physician hands directly treating patient`s body.
While the average person may only conceive of such treatment methods as useful for external or orthopedic disorders.
The reality is quite different.
Tui-na is also unlike either massge or chiropractic in technique and theory.
Advantages of tui-na treatmen
while there are a host of reasons to laud tui-na as a healing modality
The main advantages can be viewed in three main parts:
- Efficacy
For many disease and problems, tui-na achieves a speedy and profound result, whereas mainstream allopathic medicine requires a longer time to bring about visible results. For example, most hypertension patients see a 20-30 mmHg drop in blood pressure within 5minute after tui-na treatment. It is also applicable on a very wide scope of diseases, as mentioned above
- Lack of side effects & complications
Unlike surgical or pharmaceutical based medicines, there is a marked lack of side effects from tui-na treatments as there are no foreign objects or chemicals entering the body. Tui-na treatment has also been proven to strengthen the body natural defenses, increasing mean corpuscular volume by more than 2 % following treatment. Your safety, both long term and short term, is our first concern.
- Low cost
Compared to the high price of allopathic doctor visits that may only last for a few minutes and the even higher price of surgery, tui-na is far less expensive and brings about a more rapid and lasting improvement with a holistic view towards your health and well-being. There is a growing list of patients who have been saved from unnecessary surgery by proper tui-na treatments. As a result, there are a growing number of insurance carriers whom we are saved from paying out large sums to surgeon and hospitals!
