Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion. It can worsen with age.
Different types of arthritis has different causes including wear and tear, infections, and other underlying diseases. Based on our observation, the osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the main types for treatment.
Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of bones (cartilage) wears down. It occurs gradually and worsens over time.
Rheumatoid arthritis is when the body's immune system attacks its own tissue, including joints. It affects joint linings, causes painful swelling. Over long periods of time, the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis can cause bone erosion and joint deformity. In severe cases, the immune system even attacks internal organs.
In our clinic, we offer a unique group of therapy for each patient, such as Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping,herbs etc. to dredge body fluid and invigorate the circulation of blood around the joints, while using traditional Chinese medicine and herbs to regulate and support body energy to reduce swelling or alleviate pain of joints.
