It’s not long until Old Man Winter returns. This can mean flare ups for your arthritis that have you feeling like an old man… or old woman. There is safe, natural relief available from acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Arthritis is a common term that refers to a complex disorder of more than 100 distinct conditions. Two of the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. While these two forms of arthritis have very different causes and effects on the body, they often share a painful common symptom —persistent joint pain.

Unlike over-the-counter NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) that damage your liver and kidneys with regular use, Jing Well Acupuncture & Natural Medicine treatments reduce inflammation and stiffness, ease pain, and improve your energy and mood.

How? In Oriental Medicine, arthritic pain is called bi (meaning pain). Bi creates Qi (energy) blockages. There are many types of bi, just as there are many types of arthritis. Jing Well Acupuncture uses a technique called Differential Diagnosis, to custom develop an effective and pain relieving treatment for each patient’s arthritis. Treatments may include acupuncture, E-stim or micro-current modalities, natural pain-relieving Chinese herbal formulas, healing radiant energy and heat therapies, and Tui Na therapeutic massage.

Jing Well Acupuncture & Natural Medicine has successfully treated many arthritic patients of all ages and walks of life. The results in pain relief and improved functionality range from superior to astounding. One patient was able to walk without two canes she used to enter the clinic after just two treatments. She carried them in her arms and was beaming at the new found improvement. Two weekly treatments with Jing Well kept the canes in the closet.

Treatments also have systemic benefit for your health. Eliminating Energy blockages and getting Blood and Qi moving improves your overall health and emotional well being. Patients sleep better and experience increased clarity and energy levels.
