About Pain and Injuries
Pain is an unpleasant experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. It may arise from accident or injury, cancer, arthritis, asthma, or even emotional distress. Pain is associated with many illnesses.
Chinese Medicine View
Chinese Medicine offers effective pain relief using a variety of treatments from herbs taken orally to herbs applied externally such as oils, plasters and lotions, from Tuina massage (involving acupressure), manipulation to acupuncture. Sports injuries are a common cause for orthopaedic pain, which often involves muscles, tendons, bones and joints all of which respond particularly well to acupuncture. With a fresh injury, sufficient investigation must be carried out prior to Chinese medical treatment in order to eliminate any damage that may require surgery or other necessary treatment. Generally speaking, the sooner the treatment starts after an injury, the better the results. However, Chinese medicine is also very successful in treating chronic pain and sports injuries, although the course of treatment will be considerably longer.
Treatment Options
Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Of all Chinese medicine treatments, acupuncture is the best known in the West for pain management: many would remember the sensational media coverage in the 1970s of acupuncture anesthesia where an open chest operation was performed with only acupuncture needles to control the pain. Pain, whether acute or chronic can be treated by Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine. The focus of treatment will be on eliminating pain completely or as much relief as possible, to improve the ability to deal with pain, to regulate the emotions, to increase energy levels, and to increase the ability to perform everyday functions.

Case History
"I came to Acumedic after suffering from Polymyalgia Rheumatica...for some years I had considerable pain in my limbs and walking was very difficult indeed. After two treatments the pain had gone and I could walk quite normally. My general health has also improved and I hope to be able to continue to consult this excellent doctor."
