Gout is a metabolic disorder clinically caused by excessive production or decreased excretion of uric acid, leading to an increase in uric acid concentration in the blood and deposition of sodium urate crystals in connective tissue as an acute or chronic lesion. In severe cases, it can lead to joint mobility disorders and deformities, uric acid stones in the kidney, gouty nephropathy and renal insufficiency.
Symptoms
Acute joint pain
Redness, swelling
Restricted movement
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gout is caused by phlegm, wind-heat, wind-dampness and blood deficiency.
Treatment mainly uses acupuncture to stimulate qi and blood, decongest meridians, and regulate qi, blood, and various metabolic functions of the body. This strengthens kidney function and regulates uric acid concentration via excretion. The overall effect rate of the NUWA team in the past is more than 90%.
