TCM, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a holistic health discipline that emphasises the restoration and maintenance of balance within the body. It employs a variety of natural therapies, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, tui na, which is a therapeutic form of massage, and qigong, a practice deeply rooted in the martial arts that has been distilled to a meditative and energy-working form. These treatments aim to support the body’s self-healing abilities by improving energy flow, or “qi”, and harmonising the internal systems.

A chiropractor works primarily on the spine and joints, with a particular emphasis on spinal alignment. They use joint manipulation techniques to help reduce what they view as misalignments of the spine. Many chiropractors also treat joints in the arms and legs. In contrast, TCM takes a wider and holistic approach to health, using different kinds of natural therapies to support what it considers a balanced, whole-body system.

The recommended times of visits depend on your condition and health goals. More frequent sessions may be beneficial for acute issues, while chronic concerns or preventative care may require regular but less frequent visits. Your practitioner will advise you based on your needs.

TCM is commonly used to relieve back pain. Treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tui na massage can treat the root causes of imbalances, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and alleviate muscular or structural tension in the back.

The diagnosis of TCM is based on four key methods: observation (such as examining the tongue), listening and smelling, inquiry (asking about symptoms and lifestyle), and palpation (including pulse reading). These techniques allow the practitioner to assess the condition to understand internal imbalances, establish the root cause of the condition and determine a suitable treatment for the patient.

You can verify this through the official TCM Practitioners Board (TCMPB) online register by searching the practitioner’s name. A registered practitioner should be listed as a TCM physician or acupuncturist with a valid Practising Certificate.
