Healing Arts

Oriental medicine is an integrative, evolving, holistic health system that combines traditional Chinese medicine with other Eastern and Western therapies. The Chinese medicine at its core is the oldest, continually practiced, literate, professional medicine in the world. Its ultimate goal is to cultivate, balance and expand the Three Treasures which make up life itself: Jing, Qi and Shen or Essence, Energy and Spirit. Disharmony among the three can result in illness if not corrected. Oriental medicine replenishes a person’s mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being, thus facilitating the body’s natural ability to heal.

Today, these healing arts are gaining worldwide recognition as effective, affordable methods of prevention and treatment for a broad range of health issues. Some of the most commonly treated conditions include back pain, post-operative pain, headaches, arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, allergies, asthma, addiction, ulcers, nausea, reproductive issues, stroke, sciatica, colitis, diabetes, insomnia, and the common cold. With its lack of side-effects, Oriental medicine can safely complement conventional Western medicine, dentistry, osteopathic or chiropractic adjustments, and homeopathic or naturopathic prescriptions.

In partnership with the patient, we develop a plan to treat the whole person and the root of problems, not just the symptoms. The initial visit includes an in-depth interview, examination and treatment. The treatment plan depends on the nature, duration and severity of the condition, as well as the patient’s constitution, goals and preferences. For most people, treatments are relaxing, essentially painless, and often energizing.

Healing arts include the following modalities:

• Acupuncture stimulate specific points of the body to manipulate the flow of energy, restore balance, remove blockages and add energy where needed. It regulates the body’s functions, increases resistance and enhances the immune system. Fine, sterilized, single-use needles are used, but non-insertion techniques are also possible.
  
  
• Herbal Medicine uses classical Chinese herbal formulations to supplement the body’s own restorative processes. Herbs are prescribed as decoctions, pills, powders or topical treatments. It is one of the most widely-used forms of medicine in the world.
  
  
• Tuina Bodywork combines massage, acupressure and manipulation techniques to help improve circulation, eliminate toxins, relax muscles, increase joint motion, relieve tension and stress.
  
  
• Food Therapy supports the healing process, optimizes digestion, and aids in organ function. The right foods and preparations are recommended, based on the individual’s constitution and condition.
  
  
• Qigong Healing includes internal qigong, where a person practices qigong exercises to maintain health, and external qigong, in which a qigong healer uses his or her qi to facilitate healing of the patient.
  
  
• Moxibustion warms the meridians, expels cold, and promotes the flow of qi and blood by directing heat from the burning of prepared ai ye herb.
  
  
• Cupping uses the suction of glass cups to stimulate the flow of blood, balance the flow of qi, break up obstructions, or draw toxins out of the body.

Biography
William Wong Chin, LAc is a NYS licensed acupuncturist and NCCAOM nationally certified Diplomate in Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture, and Chinese Herbal Medicine. He has a private practice in healing & martial arts where he offers a holistic, humanistic approach to health and wellness.

William has been a practitioner of martial arts for 35 years. He has taught qigong, taiji, Shaolin and practiced qi healing since 1997. William studied Economics and Asian Studies at Columbia University. At Wen Wu School, he learned Guang Ping Yang Taiji Quan and Northern Shaolin from Dr. Yun-Chung Chiang and Wild Goose Da Yan Qigong from Master Hui Ru Liu, student of Grandmaster Mei Jun Yang who taught and lived to age 108. While in China, William was profoundly affected by Grandmaster Yang’s true healing qi power. He promised her that he would learn qigong and, through years of qigong practice and eventual teaching, discovered and cultivated his own qi healing ability. William formalized his education by earning a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor of Professional Studies at New York College Graduate School of Oriental Medicine. Here he also gained two years of clinical experience in acupuncture and herbs under the guidance of some of the best Oriental medicine doctors in the field.

William enjoys helping people benefit from the natural healing powers of these ancient arts. He lives by his words, which he tells his students every day: Do what you love. Love what you do. Have faith in your practice.
