Back/Neck Pain - Back pain is becoming more and more common within our society and there are several reasons for this. Within Chinese Medicine, all pain is caused by stagnation of Qi. This stagnation can be due to many factors, such as trauma or weakness due to overuse or aging. Acupuncture is a great way to deal with all kinds of pain. I often use electrical Acupuncture on the affected area to move Qi and relieve pain. Chinese herbs are often used for chronic conditions.
Sciatica - This is often caused by the piriformis muscle contracting and pinching the sciatic nerve. Acupuncture is great at releasing the muscle to stop it from pinching the nerve.
Arthritis - Acupuncture is often helpful with reducing the pain, aching and stiffness in the joints, therefore, allowing the joints to be less painful and more flexible. Chinese herbs can help to reduce swelling in the joints, and are helpful in cases of osteoarthritis.
