Each patient is assessed and recommended a personalised treatment plan based on their unique pain conditions. This means that different patients will require different treatments with varying priorities.
Generally, with patients that require more care or have severe blood and lymphatic system stagnation, a combination of TCM herbal medication, acupuncture, and tech-enhanced therapies like Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) and Negative Ion Therapy is able to provide rapid pain relief.
While treatments will be customised to your body constitution, what you can expect in a typical week of treatment:
- Consultation with a physician who will assess the condition and prescribe Chinese herbs (20 min)
- Acupuncture, cupping, or gua sha treatment (as required) (> 30 min)
- Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) (1 hour)
- Negative Ion Therapy (15 – 20 min)
TCM and technology work synergistically for better results
TCM herbs and acupuncture treatment can help to improve blood circulation and enhance the body’s own recovery system. However, when there is excessive inflammation or poor cell metabolism, the effects of TCM treatment may be slower or relatively short-lived.
In patients with excessive pain and stubborn inflammation in the body, TCM treatments like acupuncture by itself may not be able to suppress the inflammation and promote body recovery at the same time. As such, we encourage patients to do ELT concurrently to help clear inflammation from the body while we enhance body recovery with traditional TCM therapies.
Similarly, in patients with poor cell metabolism, the pain-relieving benefits of traditional therapies may take longer to take effect. When combined with Negative Ion Therapy which helps to boost cell metabolism, patients are more likely to experience faster and longer-lasting pain relief.
In general, we encourage patients who have not had great or long-lasting improvements with traditional therapies alone to try our tech-enhanced therapies.
