What We Treat
Modern Health Achieved Through Traditional Wisdom
Chinese medicine is a complete system of medicine used consistently for thousands of years. At Selby Acupuncture we are dedicated to utilizing all of it to help you. We practice integrative and complete Chinese medicine, which includes acupuncture, Mei Zen™ cosmetic acupuncture and may also incorporate herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and lifestyle advice.
The energies and processes of the body are interrelated and interdependent. Good health is all these energies and processes working in harmony. We pay close attention to your main symptom and the context in which it shows up. By considering how your symptoms are influenced by time of day, time of year, weather, and how it affects other systems in your body like sleep, mood, and energy, we are able to get a full understanding of what is happening and how to fix it. We will work hard to find the root cause in order to create lasting change.
Chinese Medicine’s Longevity

Huang-Di Nei-Jing is the oldest medical textbook in the world, different opinions date the book back to between 800 BC and 200 BC. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine lays a primary foundation for the theories of Chinese medicine which extensively summarizes and systematizes the previous experience of treatment and theories of medicine, such as the meridian theory, as well as many other issues, including, physiology, pathology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, acupuncture and moxibustion, tui na etc.
