Therapies

Traditional Chinese Medicine became a regulated health profession in Ontario when the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care signed the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Act into law in 2006.

In Ontario, Traditional Chinese Medicine is defined as:

“A holistic system of health care that originated in China several thousand years ago. Therapies include acupuncture, herbal therapy, tuina massage and therapeutic exercise. TCM views the body as a whole and addresses how illness manifests itself in a patient and assesses and treats the whole patient, not just the specific disorder.”
