RECOMMENDED THERAPIES
About
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.
Western Medicine View
Over-the-counter medicines are available to reduce or relieve aches and pains, and come in two types: Paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) e.g. aspirin, naproxen (Aleve) and ibuprofen.
Stronger drugs are available on prescription, but can have serious side effects.
Chinese Medicine View
Chinese Medicine has been shown to offer effective pain relief with a variety of treatments from herbs taken orally to herbs applied externally such as oils, plasters and lotions, from Tuina massage (involving acupressure) and manipulation to acupuncture. Sports injuries are a common cause for orthopaedic pain, which often involves muscles, tendons, bones and joints all of which have been shown to 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 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 has been shown to be successfully treated by Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine.
The focus of treatment will be on eliminating pain completely or creating as much relief as possible in order 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.
Neuralgia - nerve pain - as in migraine, sciatica, shingles and certain types of neck pain also respond well to acupuncture

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."

"Symptoms ? shoulder and neck pain, and headaches. Doctor was treating this with paracetamol. I decided to try acupuncture at AcuMedic. I have had approximately 10-12 treatments combined with massage from the doctor. Treatment has helped very much. I feel 90 percent improvement and treatment is ongoing. I am also taking Chinese supplements from the doctor."

"I was involved in a car accident and was left with severe whiplash injuries. It was 8 months before I tried any treatment and was at this point in total agony. I tried osteopathy, they eased a little but admitted they could do no more. I tried a chiropractor and an acupuncturist who eased my neck and shoulders a little more but could not make enough progress to make me comfortable enough to feel the injury was diminishing. Then finally I was recommended to AcuMedic by my parents. I am so pleased I came, I feel do different, my treatment has had a big impact on my life. Just doing every day things isn't painful anymore. It's improving all the time. Thank you."

"I felt as if there was fluid at the back of my head all the time, I felt horrendous. After three weeks of treatment coming once a week, I felt like a different person. I did not have the heaviness any more and the pain was so much better. It was such a relief to come to someone who understood and sat still and listened to what I needed and could help me."

"For a year I have been treated for joint pain and bowel complaints, neither of which have been helped by Western medication, I have greatly improved and now even discontinued the treatment."

"Since taking the herbs on a regular basis I am enjoying good health. My energy levels are better now, also I can feel a better all over feeling of wellness. My body feels more in balance also since taking the herbs I've not suffered any flus, colds, etc; also I've had acupuncture on a old knee injury also on my back which has given me a lot of relief all in all I have a great trust in the medicine, and the doctors."
