What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a diagnostic and medical treatment system whose written literature dates back almost 2,500 years. Currently, ¼ of the world’s population seeks medical treatment from Chinese Medical practitioners. [More]

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that acupuncture is suitable to treat the following conditions:

* ear, nose and throat disorders
* toothaches, pain after tooth extraction, earaches, sinus inflammation, nasal inflammation or dryness
* respiratory disorders (bronchial asthma)
* gastrointestinal disorders (digestive tract problems, hiccups, inflammation of the stomach, chronic duodenal ulcers, inflammation of the colon, constipation, diarrhea, dysentery caused by certain bacteria)
* eye disorders (inflammation of the conjunctiva, inflammation of the central retina, nearsightedness in children, and uncomplicated cataracts)
* nervous system and muscular disorders (headaches, migraines, certain facial paralysis or nerve pain, partial weakness after a stroke, inflammation of nerve endings, bed wetting, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, sciatica, low back pain, and osteoarthritis).

TCM also treats, but is not limited to treating: women’s health (pms, endometriosis, infertility, pregnancy discomforts: morning sickness, back pain, neck pain, constipation, delayed labor, and, menopause), men’s health, colds/flus, allergies, asthma, pain management, muscular-skeletal discomfort, digestive disorders (indigestion, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel), and mental and emotional imbalances such as: depression, anxiety, and addictions.

The meaning behind Jade Turtle…

Jade: and the color green represent growth, new beginnings, renewal, energy, prosperity, and fertility. It was my favorite color as a child, and the team color for my #1 swim team.

Turtle: It represents the foundation in Native American lore, often said that the world is balanced on a turtle. It symbolizes strength, stability, and, foundations. In Chinese culture, it represents the manifestation of wisdom, longevity, stability, endurance, tranquility in religion, and, strength. For me…I love animals and especially love the endurance of the turtle who keeps pace and keeps moving along. My dad called me “tortoise girl” when I was little because I resembled a turtle while competitively swimming breaststroke.

Why Jade Turtle? In addition to the above examples, it surely is easier to spell and to remember than Gigi Terinoni.

Put Jade and Turtle together and you have a solid foundation and practitioner to help you reach your optimal wellness and healthcare goals.

Does my health insurance cover acupuncture?

Many health care plans are covering acupuncture. Generally, you are either allowed a certain number of visits or a monetary amount annually. In most cases, you do not have to meet your deductible before your insurance will pay for acupuncture.

Yes, we bill most insurance companies.

The following is a list of some health care insurance companies that we bill for your acupuncture and massage therapies. Always call your insurance company directly to confirm your coverage.

Many health insurance and car insurance companies, in addition to Worker's Compensation, cover acupuncture treatments. Please call you insurance company, or, bring your card to your appointment, to have your insurance verified.

If we are not in-network with your insurance group, we provide you with a superbill receipt that you submit to your insurance company and they reimburse you directly for acupuncture treatment. In this case, you pay for your acupuncture treatment in full at the time of service.
