The Central College OM Center is divided into three major categories:

Acupuncture - For acute pain control, and chronic disorder treatment.

“With acupuncture, treatment is accomplished by stimulating certain areas of the external body.
Herbal medicine acts on zang-fu organs internally, while Qi-gong tries to restore the orderly information

flow inside the network through the regulation of Qi. These therapies appear very different in approach

yet they all share the same underlying sets of assumptions and insights in the nature of the human body

and its place in the universe” (CTCMA, 2005).

Acupressure - For sport medical treatment and massage therapy.

Acupressure deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one,

not as separate parts. It relaxes muscular tension and balances the vital life forces of the body.Acupressure

can help with the following:

1. Relieve stress and tension

2. Relax mind and body

3. Increase blood circulation

4. Aid in the removal of toxic wastes

5. Provide relief from head, neck and shoulder aches

6. Promote the healing of injuries

7. Increase energy levels

8. Increase overall feeling of well-being

9. Decreasing labor pains.
