Illnesses We Treat

What do practitioners believe causes aches and pains?

According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), joint/muscular pain is caused by a blockage in the meridians (channels that supply nourishment and vital energy to all our inner organs, joints, muscles and skin). Many conditions can cause this blockage, such as fluid retention, wear and tear, injuries and trapped nerves.

When the blockage occurs, our body informs us of it through the feeling of pain, stiffness, pins and needles and numbness. Those sensations must not be ignored and should be treated promptly.

Acupuncture can stimulate the meridians to resolve these blockages. Herbal remedies can help to dissolve the blockage, which can help to resolve such symptoms as inflamed and weakened muscles and joints.

The combination can effectively help manage the symptoms, and may help to prevent recurrence. Maintenance is usually highly recommended after treatment, if the joint pain is caused by wear and tear or certain conditions.

Migraine-headaches
and recurring headaches:

Modern scientific research has found that headache pain begins with the trigeminal nerve. Headaches are triggered when the nerve is stimulated by light, noise, stress, hormonal imbalance, etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine has a very coherent, consistent and philosophically-based framework for headache physiology, diagnosis and treatment strategy, and affirms that a general, a pain-free head should always have balanced inner organs to supply sufficient and smooth flow of nourishment and vital energy. Headaches are included in the list of 43 conditions recognised by the World Health Organisation for which acupuncture is effective. 

Acupuncture may stimulate improved blood flow to the head, which would result in temporary relief from the headache symptoms. Herbal remedies are very important in treating headaches in CTM. Gradually, this combination may strengthen and balance the inner organs so that the client experiences more long-lasting results.
