Complementary Health Practioners
Q & A Session

 

Practioners in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada, were asked a series of questions about their particular practice or therapy. The following are all of the answers provided by Daniel Schulman, acupuncturist.

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM). TOM is one of the oldest continually practiced medical systems in the world, a system that includes Chinese Herbal Medicine, Traditional Massage and Chinese Dietary Therapy. TOM has its own understandings of the human body/mind/spirit, the origins of illness, diagnosis and treatment. Many think Acupuncture is just a technique for pain control. This is a false assumption. Traditional Oriental Medicine can offer effective treatment for a wide range of women's, children's and men's health concerns. In TOM, all symptoms are interpreted as signs of imbalance in the body. Therapy is always directed at assisting your body in its natural drive back to balance.


A Classical Acupuncturist will assess and treat you using the principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Classical Acupuncture works with the many meridians in your body (channels of flow identified by the Chinese over 2000 years ago). Imbalances in the ebbs and flows of these channels can be adjusted at specific acupoints by using needles, moxibustion (the burning of herbs on points), polarity agents and other therapies. The TOM system is truly holistic. Your symptoms are not viewed or treated in isolation, but rather as part of your whole picture.

Daniel Schulman is trained in Traditional Oriental Medicine and works with both Japanese and Chinese styles of acupuncture. He operates out of his clinic in Charlottetown, PEI.
