Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia - An Oriental Medicine & Traditional Chinese Medicine Alternative Health Care Clinic

<body bgcolor="#FDFDE3"> <h1>Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia</h1> <p>The Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia is a health clinic in Roanoke Virginia that provides Oriental Medicine health care to patients by applying the three Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM modalities of Acupuncture, Herbs, and Bodywork. In addition to these, our Health Center also provides Rolfing.</p> <h1>Oriental Medicine</h1> <p>Oriental Medicine, also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is an alternative health care system comprised of Acupuncture, Herbs, and Bodywork. In addition to these, our Health Center also provides Rolfing. Oriental Medicine, originally known as "Balance Medicine", is composed of Acupuncture, Herbology and bodywork (Tuina & Shiatsu). The 5,000 year old holistic system of medicine has been continuously refined over the centuries and is designed to bring harmony and balance to an individual's health.</p> <h1>Oriental Acupuncture</h1> <p>Oriental Acupuncture is the first of the three TCM modalities of Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture is a comprehensive medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses for over 5000 years. It is an essential part of traditional Oriental medicine that includes not only Acupuncture but also Chinese herbology, bodywork, dietary therapy, and exercise, based on traditional Oriental medical principles.</p> <h1>Oriental Herbs</h1> <p>Oriental Herbs is the second of the three TCM modalities of Oriental Medicine. CHINESE HERBS are very potent. They can be used in acute or chronic syndromes and should be prescribed by a qualified practitioner. Currently, Chinese Herbal Medicine has become acknowledged for its profound benefits in healing - supplementing and often replacing heavy use of pharmaceuticals for some individuals. Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine consists of 6,000 individual substances derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources. The use of these substances can be traced back to 5,000 B.C. Since then, an incredibly rich and powerful system has medicine has been created. Generally, an herbal prescription consists of a combination of 6-12 herbs, ensuring effectiveness while minimizing side effects. The herbs are available in the form of granules, herbal teas, tablets, liquid extracts, capsules, lotions, creams, salves, or poultices.</p> <h1>Oriental Bodywork</h1> <p>Oriental Bodywork is the third of the three TCM modalities of Oriental Medicine. I utilize several styles of Oriental bodywork; TUINA is the traditional system of Chinese style physical therapy or massage. SHIATSU is the traditional system of Japanese style physical therapy or massage. Both may be used in conjunction with Acupuncture or herbs to enhance treatments in a variety of musculo-skeletal conditions. Tuina and Shiatsu are perhaps the oldest form of Oriental medicine, predating Acupuncture. As practiced it is similar to other more familiar forms of bodywork (i.e. Swedish) but uses Acupressure points (Acupoints) and meridian based therapy. The practitioner works to open the flow of Qi in meridians as well as muscle groups. As such we could name this therapy "ACUPRESSURE" or "Medical Massage", used for specific medical conditions (such as TMJ, sciatica), to relieve the body from its limitations induced by pain.</p> <h1>Roanoke Virginia</h1> <p>Grandin Healing Arts Center</p> <p>1701 Grandin Road SW</p> <p>Roanoke, Virginia 24015</p> <p>(540) 344-3286 / 467-6939</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%" height="120"> <IMG SRC="images/banner.gif" WIDTH=749 HEIGHT=120 ALT="Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="1" width="168" height="100%" valign="top"> <table width="168" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr><TD><IMG SRC="images/nav_bar_top.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=74 ALT="Navigation Bar - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="index.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('home','','images/home_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="home" border="0" SRC="images/home_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Home - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="orientalMedicine.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('orientalmedicine','','images/oriental_medicine_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="orientalmedicine" border="0" SRC="images/oriental_medicine_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Oriental Medicine - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="acupuncture.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('acupuncture','','images/acupuncture_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="acupuncture" border="0" SRC="images/acupuncture_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Acupuncture - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="herbs.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('herbs','','images/herbs_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="herbs" border="0" SRC="images/herbs_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Herbs - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="bodywork.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('bodywork','','images/bodywork_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="bodywork" border="0" SRC="images/bodywork_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Bodywork - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="rolfing.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('rolfing','','images/rolfing_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="rolfing" border="0" SRC="images/rolfing_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Rolfing - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="fees.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('fees','','images/fees_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="fees" border="0" SRC="images/fees_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="Fees & Services - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><A HREF="moreinformation.html" ONMOUSEOVER="MM_swapImage('moreinformation','','images/moreinformation_on.gif',1)" ONMOUSEOUT="MM_swapImgRestore()" TARGET="_self"><IMG name="moreinformation" border="0" SRC="images/moreinformation_off.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=42 ALT="More Information - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"></a></TD></tr> <tr><TD><IMG SRC="images/nav_bar_bottom.gif" WIDTH=168 HEIGHT=133 ALT="Navigation Bar - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke - Oriental Medicine, Oriental Acupuncture, Oriental Herbs, and Oriental Bodywork in Roanoke, Virginia"></TD></tr> </tbody> </table> </td> <td colspan="1" width="100%" height="100%"> <IMG SRC="images/quoteHOME.gif" align="right" WIDTH=302 HEIGHT=287 ALT="Quote - Acupuncture Center of Roanoke Virginia"> <span class="h1">Improve your well being with ... <br><br></span> <span class="bold">Alexander Davis L.Ac.,<br> Dipl.
