Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has over 2,000 years of history in holistic healing. By focusing on the body’s natural balance, TCM uses acupuncture and herbal remedies to:

Improve circulation and reduce inflammation
Regulate digestion and boost energy levels
Relieve pain, tightness, and stiffness holistically

How Does TCM Help with pain and arthritis?
TCM views all organ systems as interconnected, and illness or pain as a result of internal imbalances, such as deficiencies in Qi (energy) and blood flow. By restoring this balance, TCM supports the body’s ability to heal, reduces pain, and minimizes the need for medications with harsh side effects.

Acupuncture: A Key Component of Treatment
Research suggests acupuncture may help regulate immune function, reduce inflammation, and manage rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Many patients experience relief within 3–12 weeks, and ongoing sessions can prevent the progression of arthritis or support faster recovery after joint replacement surgery. Response to treatment varies between individuals, so the number of sessions also varies, and for long-term conditions it is not uncommon to need one or two treatments a week for a few months.
