"Blocked Energy and/or Blood makes Pains" From a Traditional Asian Medicine perspective, trauma disrupts energetic homeostasis and can cause both short and long term imbalances. Pain and dysfunction result from a blockage of internal vital energy (Qi) and blood flow. Traditional Asian Medicine therapies function to remove these blockages. From a western perspective, Traditional Asian Medicine therapies decrease pain, decrease inflammation, promote healing and regulate the immune and endocrine systems.

Arthritis is one of the most pervasive diseases in the United States and is the leading cause of disability. According to the Centers for Disease Control, and Prevention, one out of every three Americans (an estimated 70 million people) is affected. For most people, arthritis pain and inflammation cannot be avoided as the body ages. In fact, most people over the age of 50 show some signs of arthritis. Joints naturally degenerate over time. Fortunately, arthritis can often be managed by Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

According to Traditional Asian Medicine theory, arthritis arises when the cyclical flow of internal vital energy (Qi) in the meridians becomes blocked. This blockage is widely studied and successfully treated using a combination of Acupuncture and/or Herbal medicine. Acupuncture and Herbal medicine have been found to be extremely effective at treating the pain and inflammation associated with all types of arthritis. Traditional Asian Medicine does not recognize arthritis as one particular syndrome. Instead, it aims to treat the specific symptoms that are unique to each individual using a variety of techniques such as acupuncture, herbs, bodywork, lifestyle/dietary recommendations and energetic exercises to restore imbalances found in the body. Therefore, if 10 patients are treated with Oriental medicine for joint pain, each of these 10 patients will receive a unique, customized treatment with different acupuncture points, different herbs and different lifestyle and diet recommendations.
