We address the root of your pain by restoring internal balance—so you can move freely and live more comfortably.
Pain is often linked to the body’s inflammatory response, which can be either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation typically follows trauma, surgery, or infection, serving as a natural part of the healing process. Chronic inflammation, however, may stem from conditions such as autoimmune disorders, cancer, or long-term stress, leading to ongoing discomfort. Other common contributors include nerve damage, degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis, or psychosomatic influences such as anxiety and depression.
In TCM, pain is understood as a disruption in the body’s internal harmony. It is often caused by blockages in the flow of Qi and Blood or an imbalance between Yin and Yang. TCM views the body holistically, focusing on how emotional stress, dietary habits, overexertion, and even external elements like Wind, Cold, or Dampness can obstruct circulation and cause discomfort. The goal of treatment is to restore balance and promote the smooth flow of energy throughout the body.
Pain can be classified based on duration and frequency or its underlying source.
Most pain is connected to inflammation in some form. That’s why many of our treatments are designed to calm inflammation, support healing, and help your body find lasting relief.
Whether you’re managing acute discomfort or living with chronic pain, TCM offers a holistic approach to restore balance and ease tension in the body. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation and supporting the body’s natural healing processes, our treatments help you feel better and move more freely—without relying solely on medication.
Acupuncture helps relieve chronic pain by stimulating sensory nerves and unblocking meridians. This promotes energy balance and supports the body’s natural healing, especially for musculoskeletal pain like back, neck or knee issues.
