Let us be a partner in your health care journey. Our clinic understands that chronic illnesses are conditions that last a long time and require ongoing care. Chronic conditions are difficult to treat/ manage because they are persistent, therefore requiring many various supports. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has become very popular due to its individualize/ customizes natural medicine prescriptions of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, healing exercises, life style modification, etc. based on the root causes of the illness aka as TCM imbalances. Unlike drugs, TCM prescriptions are flexible and have virtually no side effects when prescribed according to TCM holistic diagnosis (es)/ imbalances. Its multi-component, interacting, multi-targeting, functioning, etc. are some of the advantages over the allopathic conventional medical system……..Dr. Kwong

Let's Stay Healthy Together by Dr. Kwong! It is time to boost your immune system naturally and not wait till the Winter. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine physicians)/ Acupuncturists like myself can prescribe prescriptions to include acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional recipes/soups, Qigong & Tai chi to prevent disease and illness by boosting the immune system. Taking preventative steps to boost the immune system can better prepare the body to fight off infection. As well as a better chance of recovery if one comes down with a illness.
TCM looks at the body as whole, assessing areas of potential weakness and boosting our overall body functioning. Studies have shown that Chinese herbal prescriptions can increase the number of T cells your body produces. These cells are the main line of defense to fight infection. When the body senses an invasion, T cells respond first and start attacking. If they’re successful, we remain healthy. (A. Stueber, L.Ac.- NJ)
