Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain is one of the most common ailments that people complain of today, and traditional western medicine is often times unable to help them. What defines chronic pain? If the pain has lasted more than a few months and has outlived its usefulness, then a person needs chronic pain management. Many times it begins with an injury that causes inflammation.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats pain differently and therefore can be more successful at managing pain. In TCM the whole body is treated, re-establishing the healthy flow of qi within the body. When qi is flowing freely within the body, the blockages that cause chronic pain are removed and balance is restored.
Any and all of the TCM treatments are used to manage pain. The TCM treatments that are most commonly used to manage pain are Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Both of these treatments work to eliminate blockages within the body and to stimulate the flow of qi. Other TCM modalities that may be used to manage pain are the instruction of Tai Chi or Qigong, Tuina, Gua sha, Cupping, Spinal Traction Therapy, or Moxibustion.
Certain medical conditions cause pain when they are left untreated. Undergoing a thorough medical health evaluation can help to diagnose and treat these conditions so as to provide relief. Please check out our physician’s bio for more information.
