Pain & Injuries

About

Pain in the body signifies an obstruction to proper flow of energy and blood. This obstruction can be due to a sudden injury, chronic overuse, or persistent tension.  Classical Chinese medicine can resolve such pain, as well as reduce likelihood of it happening in the future by optimizing flow of blood and qi (energy).

We offer a number of therapies that help to restore this blood and energy flow, including acupuncture, bodywork, moxibustion, qigong and herbal remedies. Certain qigong exercises help reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by increasing circulation and blood flow; they can also help to align the body with breath in order to relieve pain.

Acupuncture can help release muscle tension, break up adhesions and trigger points in tissues, and aid relaxation. Moxibustion can be included for an even deeper effect by improving circulation and softening hard accumulations in tissues. Herbs can be used both internally and topically to help move stagnation in the tissues and relieve pain in the muscles and joints.
