I've had low back pain for 60 years following a fall, and then 20 years on the deck of Navy ships and two tours with the Marine Corps.  Andrea worked her magic and for the first time since my teen years I can stand up straight and zero pain.  God Bless.

Welcome to the Center for Natural Healing located in Sylva, North Carolina

Chinese Medicine has been used to treat the ills of human society for 3000 years.  This system of medicine is extremely safe with no known side effects.  It works by communicating with the energy system of your body-mind-spirit to remind it how to be in its natural, healthy state.  Once you are balanced, your natural healing ability is enhanced to help you heal whatever problems you are having.
Where there is no movement there  is pain.  Where there is movement there is no pain.
 - Traditional Chinese Saying

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
- Thomas Edison, Inventor
Due to the experience of many stressors, which accumulate during our lifetimes, our energy systems develop deficiencies and stagnations, and that opens us to developing symptoms.  Acupuncture, herbology, and massage as well as diet and exercise are used in combination to balance the particular pattern of disharmony preventing symptoms from developing.  Chinese Medicine can be used to reduce or eliminate existing symptoms  or used to maintain your health and avoid illness altogether.

Chinese Healing Arts is the name Andrea Ford chose upon graduation from acupuncture school in 1992 to be the name of her healing practice.  The name reflects the interdisciplinary and intuitive approach Andrea has taken in discovering and mastering what would be the safest, most efficient and effective treatment possible for each of her patients.  Her own path of expansion and deepening of her practice has led her to offer and include many treatment modalities.
