Sergey Fuchinde
Acupuncturist
sfuchinde@sprains-strains.com
Traditional Chinese medical (TCM) theory believes
that we live in a universe in which everything is
interconnected. What happens to one part of the body
affects every other part of the body. The mind and
body are not viewed separately, but as part of one
energetic system. TCM incorporates many modalities
and treats health conditions according to the root
cause. By treating the cause and not just the symptom
the body can function more efficiently ensuring better
health.
Sergey graduated from Xiamen University, Chinese
Medicine Department. He has over 11 years of clinical
experience, which include diagnostics, acupuncture
and herbal medicine.
