In Diane’s Clinic the major emphasis of her care is in general practice.
Diane utilizes her 20 years of experience in western medicine and her TCM
training to examine the emotional, spiritual and physical aspect of your life.
For example: What are the things that are keeping you from being
healthy/balanced? Overwork, unhappy relationships, wrong foods, irregular sleep
patterns or simply not enough sleep? These are all factors which can affect your
health. Depending on the condition of your body you may or may not have the
ability to adapt to these variations.
If body mind and spirit are not one, it creates
disease.
“Disease is like confusion and Chaos”
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on a broader perspective of the
body's health status. Diane’s practice incorporates both Herbal Medicine and
Acupuncture. TCM is rooted in nature and philosophy; we look at not just your
physical but your emotional and spiritual environments. Our goal is to attain
balance and harmony within the body based on the theory of Yin and Yang in the
unity of opposites.
The tools used by an acupuncturist differ from western
medicine. TCM takes a holistic approach, applying treatment according to the
differentiation of syndrome complexes (much like the differential diagnosis used
in western medicine). The emphasis is on interconnectedness and change.
When a patient comes to the Clinic with a headache we look at the patient as
a whole and not just as having an isolated symptom. We investigate the root
cause and treat it according to its unique pattern. Every treatment is tailored
for each patient and all factors are considered.
Chinese Medicine was developed thousands of years ago when western medicine
was not available. Acupuncture is used for almost any health concern today. The
dis-eases of today are as common as thousands of years ago. Over the last
thousands of years the Chinese learned how to treat dis-eases with herbs and
acupuncture before diagnostic techniques were even developed. Diane’s goal is to
combine the knowledge of Eastern medicine as well as Western medicine in a
holistic environment to give you the best of both worlds.
