Pain affects one’s physical and mental well-being. Effective pain management can ease the suffering and improve the quality of life of individuals living with pain.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can affect bones and/ or tissues. It usually results from acute trauma or repetitive stress associated with athletic activities and affects not just competitive athletes, but also individuals who exercise on a recreational basis, and even certain occupations. A sprained waist due to incorrect posture during your Sunday golf game or the delivery man with a back injury from carrying heavy loads are examples of sports injuries.

Orthopedic Conditions

Orthopedic conditions range from disorders of the bones, joints, muscles and connective tissues, ligaments and cartilage.

Management of sports injuries and orthopedic conditions include prevention, diagnosis and treatment, with the main objective of expediting one’s recovery process, so that one recovers and is able to perform at a similar or better level before the injury.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pain management is done with a combination of acupuncture, Tui Na and herbal medication where necessary. The advantage of TCM lies in its ability to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of the problem, leaving a lasting effect. The side-effects are minimal and there is no risk of being addicted to medication. Acupuncture clears blockage within the meridians and strengthens the flow of qi and blood; it restores the healthy balance of Yin and yang, hence alleviating pain. World Health Organization has recognized that acupuncture has been proven, through controlled trials, to be an effective treatment for various conditions such as facial pain, headache, knee pain, low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, postoperative pain, rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, sprain, tennis elbow, etc. 

Tui Na aids in the recovery of adhesions, dispersing blood stasis and swelling, and correcting dislocations. It stimulates the circulation of blood and repair of damaged tissue, hence relieving pain. For instance, tui na is used as a treatment for a variety of sprains, tennis elbow, cervical spondylosis, tenosynovitis, peri arthritis of the shoulder, shoulder impingement syndrome, strains and back pain, lumbar disc herniation, sacroiliac joint injuries.
