Acute & Chronic Pain

Pain can be the result of accidents, trauma, sports injuries, degenerative conditions, chronic low-grade inflammation, poor posture, working in physically-demanding occupations, autoimmune conditions, and genetics. Surgical, pharmaceutical, and over-the-counter interventions for pain can be heavy-handed, lead to less than desirable side effects, and damage the body’s natural healing capabilities (like steroids). Importantly, the location where the symptoms are being experienced may not be the cause of the pain. East Asian medicine provides a unique approach to addressing pain, getting to the root of the symptoms.
