Acupuncture and herbal medicine play an irreplaceable role in the treatment of pain, not only in reducing the toxicity of Western medicines, but also in shortening the duration of treatment. They have a synergistic effect with conventional medical treatments. In the treatment of pain, the therapeutic principle is to regulate Qi and Blood, open the meridians and activate the channels, and relieve pain.

1. under the stimulation of acupuncture, the brain itself produces a large amount of pain-relieving neurotransmitters, so that the pain and other symptoms are relieved.

2. acupuncture regulates vascular function, improves blood circulation, reduces the permeability of blood vessels in inflamed areas, reduces inflammatory exudation, inhibits the spread of inflammation and accelerates the absorption of inflammatory exudates, reduces swelling and relieves its stretching and irritating effect on peripheral nerves.

3. acupuncture modulates immune function, which in turn suppresses the level of humoral immunity such as in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

In selecting the appropriate treatment methods in addition to acupuncture and herbal therapy, we use rehabilitation treatments, tendon treatments, Tuina, massage and other techniques to correct the connection between the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels and the position of the bones and joints, and to harmonise the function of the tissues so that the blood can flow smoothly and the tissues can restore their motor function.
