Pain Relief
“Bu tong ze tong, tong ze bu tong.”
“If there is no free flow, there is pain, if there is free flow, there is no pain.”
The free flow of Qi (pronounced chee) around the body is vital to ensure balance and harmony. When the Qi in the body becomes trapped or stagnated, pain can occur. With the use of fine needles, inserted into acupuncture points, the movement of Qi can be manipulated, allowing it to flow through the body freely once more.
Acupuncture and pain relief go hand in hand.
From recent to old injuries, to waking up stiff from sleeping incorrectly, from over using muscles, to pulling your back while bending down to pick something up (yeah, it happens), Acupuncture is an integral key in helping your Qi circulate around your body, encouraging healing and balance.
Alongside Acupuncture, other techniques I may use to help you get to your pain-free goals quicker include:
Cupping
Body gua sha
Chinese herbal liniments
Infrared therapy
Tui Na (Chinese body work)
Stretches
Chinese Medicine is about getting to the root of your problem holistically, encouraging your body to be in a better state of harmony and health.
