Pain has the ability to affect all that we do and even govern our everyday lives.

Pain can be causative from many different health conditions such as cyclical headaches, menstruation, arthritis, musculoskeletal tenderness or strain, recent or old injuries and unidentified causes.

what happens

Pain can be either acute or chronic. Acute pain is sudden and immediate, usually due to an injury or transitory health condition, while chronic pain has persisted for weeks or years due to a long term health condition.

Acute pain can generally be treated within a few sessions.
Chronic pain, however, will attract a longer term of sessions.

how Chinese medicine can help

Chinese medicine has the advantage of a cumulative and persistent effect on chronic pain conditions.

Treatment provided for chronic pain will depend on the type of pain, whether is it musculoskeletal, headaches or migraines, pain associated with chronic disease or gynæcological pain.

Treatment for chronic pain and acute pain might include a combination of acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, tui na, moxibustion, heat lamp therapy and yangsheng. This will depend on whether it is a deficient or excess type of pain and what the body requires at each session in order to work towards pain alleviation.

Depending on how long the pain has been active will indicate the number of sessions required.
