Chi Wellness Clinic
With our treatment of the root cause rather than merely symptoms, you will achieve holistic health and sustainable wellness

Chi Wellness Clinic provides a safe, soothing and comfortable treatment atmosphere. We offer free consultations for your personalized treatment plan. Our services include Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Tuina massage therapy, and Tai Chi. We also teach our patients new skills to take care of themselves in lectures, classes and retreats. Since 2001, we have effectively treated various chronic conditions. We strive to better integrate our therapies into conventional healthcare and further enhance their medical and cost effectiveness. In addition to treatment of general chronic conditions, Chi Wellness Clinic has four specialty units:

Fertility & Women's Health - We have developed an optimal combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine to restore women's natural balance and reproductive functions.
Chronic Pains & Injuries - We have developed a proprietary combination of Tuina, acupuncture and herbal remedies to mobilize one's innate capabilities to heal the primary injuries underlying chronic pains. The end point is to restore one's physiological balance and prevent pains and injuries from becoming chronic.
Holistic Rehabilitation - We help patients with disabilities as result of strokes, chronic pains & injuries or anxiety to holistically restore their physical, mental and emotional functions.
Holistic Weight Loss - We help clients to develop their own holistic and sustainable program in balancing daily diet, controling cravings, improving metabolism, strengthening nourishment, achieving relaxation, and comforting moods.

The Chi Wellness Care System has been advanced by Dr. Miles Chong Chen on the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the Taoist (or Daoist) philosophy. This holistic health care system is based on three premises:

First, symptoms are signs of the in-balance caused by pathogens or unhealthy lifestyle. The in-balance is the root cause underlying the symptoms and must be treated accordingly;
Second, each patient has a unique innate healing capacity that can be mobilized by personalized holistic care;
Third, the innate healing, once mobilized, is able to produce sustainable therapeutic effect without on-going interventions.

There are four key steps in the Chi Wellness Care System:

To take a holistic view of all signs and symptoms each patient shows. We try to understand what trigger those signs and symptoms, and how these triggers relate to daily living. We make a preliminary assessment of the root cause(s) underlying all the signs and symptoms, and develop a preliminary treatment program for the patient by combining various therapies.
To treat the root cause intensively and mobilize the healing. By observing the patient's response to the preliminary treatment, we develop a bench mark for the patient to assess the therapeutic effect, and our assessment of the root cause becomes more definitive. It may take 3-5 sessions or longer to understand the root cause. The intensity of treatment is chosen to generate steady therapeutic effect as quickly as possible, and thus initiate the patient's innate healing.
To achieve sustainable therapeutic effect. The treatment program of the root cause is modified, if necessary, so that the patient's innate healing is mobilized to bring about sustainable relief of the symptoms, and hence re-establish the balance in the body.
To achieve sustainable health and wellness through self care. The endpoint of Chi Wellness Care is to empower the patient, so he or she learns how to take care of their own health in a sustainable fashion. We teach the patient how to listen to their body, detect early signs and symptoms, administrate preventative care, and live a balance and healthy life. Thus he or she is able to enhance their health, productivity and enjoyment without any interventions.
