Traditional Chinese Medicine is a dynamic medical system that evolved from thousands of years of clinical practice, experience and observation. In TCM each person is a distinct individual composed of a tapestry of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual elements.

The Role of the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The role of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor is to discover the reason behind the illness. Using the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual elements that make up an individual the underlying pattern of disharmony is uncovered. The goal is to find the root of the problem and resolve it. The relationship between the patient and doctor is crucial. Dr. Montgomery acts as a catalyst in the healing process. The real work, however is done by you, the patient. It is the patient who must take responsibility for the healing, and change the patterns and behaviours associated with the illness. Together the patient and doctor work to change these patterns and behaviours.
