What Is Inner Strength, Inc. with Dr. Ted Cibik?

Updated

Inner Strength, Inc. is a traditional naturopathic and Classical Chinese Medicine center in Leechburg, Pennsylvania, led by Dr. Ted Cibik, Ph.D., D.M.Q., N.D. It combines a treatment clinic, a Medical Qigong certification and education program, a retreat house, a Taoist non-profit, and a feng shui school under one organization. It is relevant if you are looking for holistic, mind-body-spirit care — either in person or at a distance — or for practitioner training in Medical Qigong.

Who runs it

Dr. Ted Cibik holds a Ph.D., D.M.Q. (Doctor of Medical Qigong), and N.D. (Naturopathic Doctor). According to the site, he has been providing treatment and education at this location since 1997, and his practice specializes in Classical Chinese Medicine alongside a traditional naturopathic approach. The stated philosophy is that healing must occur across body, mind, and spirit to succeed, and that each client's needs and solutions differ.

What the clinic offers

The clinic describes two delivery formats with the same core structure:

Format What's included
In person (Leechburg, PA) In-depth evaluation, treatment plan protocol, and Chinese Medicine treatment modalities as needed; Medical Qigong sessions available
Distance-based The same in-depth evaluation and treatment plan protocol, including a specific nutrition plan and stress management modalities

The site notes that in-person sessions take place at what it describes as one of the longest-running Chinese Medicine and Medical Qigong clinics in the Eastern USA. For patients traveling from outside the area, accommodations are available onsite so a multi-day session and customized treatment plan can be built around the visit.

Distance patients can also schedule sessions for instruction in Sun Therapy, a modality using acupoints, where the client is taught which points on their own body to use for self-treatment.

Education, courses, and events

Beyond treatment, Inner Strength runs a Qigong certification and education program. The site lists these upcoming courses and events:

  • Weekly Wisdom – Healing Power of Joy — September 30, 6:00 pm to October 15, 7:00 pm
  • DMQ Retreat & Reunion — October 17, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Medical Clinical Qigong Therapist Certification — February 7, 2027, 9:00 am to February 11, 2027, 4:30 pm
