I pledge to follow the Way of the Great Healer.

When I treat an illness, I will first calm my spirit and fix my resolve.

I will not give way to wishes and desires, but will first develop an attitude of compassion.

Rather than ponder my own fortune or misfortune, I will work to preserve life and resolve the sufferings of all sentient beings.

I will treat all patients alike, whether powerful or humble, rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, countrymen or foreigners, wise men or fools, all are the same.

If a disease should cause the patient to be looked upon with contempt by people, I will nevertheless maintain compassion and deliver care. I will look on those who are afflicted as if I myself were struck.

My patients' confidences I will keep like a soldier guarding a fortress. I will not speak ill of other practitioners.

Neither dangerous mountain passes, nor the time of day, neither weather conditions nor hunger, thirst or fatigue shall keep me from helping those who need me.

With this oath, I will fulfill my responsibilities and my destiny as a healer to each and every patient who seeks my care, until I am no longer capable of fulfilling my obligations, or until life no longer courses in my veins.

Knee pain can be a persistent and debilitating issue for many individuals, affecting their daily lives and overall well-being.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, as well as Moxibustion and Tuina Chinese Remedial Massage can be effective treatments for knee pain

The underlying principle of Chinese Medicine is to balance the flow of energy, or Qi, and blood within the body, and ensure the organs and physiology of the body are performing optimally, as well and ensuring the emotions and supported.

Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body as a holistic system, interconnected and influenced by various factors and takes a holistic approach by targeting underlying root causes of a specific illness or disease as manifested in each unique individual patient, aiming to restore balance to the entire body. This comprehensive method often leads to more sustained relief compared to merely addressing surface symptoms.

In the context of knee pain, Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine, for example, is believed to address not only the symptoms but also the underlying root cause of the pain and discomfort.

Acupuncture can offer a drug free option for managing knee pain for people seeking alternatives to pain medications (drugs) due to concerns about potential side effects and dependency.

Acupuncture prompts the body to release natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, promoting a more organic approach to pain management. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can also help reduce inflammation by modulating the immune response and promoting better circulation to provide relief and improve the overall function of the knee joint.

One of the strengths of Chinese Medicine, including Acupuncture, lies in its adaptability to individual needs with treatments tailored to the individual based on a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition, considering factors such as lifestyle, overall health, and the specific nature of the knee pain.

This kind of personalised approach enhances the effectiveness of treatments, and recognises that each person’s experience with an illness or condition is unique.

A key goal of treatment is to enhance the proper blood flow for the health and healing of any part of the body, including the knees, with enhanced blood circulation, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to an affected area. Improved blood flow may contribute to reduced stiffness, increased mobility, and a quicker recovery from knee related issues.

Acupuncture for knee pain is not just about immediate relief, it also focuses on long term well being, and regular Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can not only help manage current discomfort & pain but also contribute to preventing future issues, by maintaining balance in the body’s energy & blood flow to improve knee function.

Joint Pain and Musculoskeletal Disorders

Acupuncture can successfully treat a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders from acute traumatic injuries to chronic inflammatory degenerative conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) takes a holistic approach to the treatment of these conditions.

Symptoms are considered within the functional context of the whole body and Chinese Medicine Practitioner will assess and treat the root cause of the condition as well as the presenting symptoms, with such treatments as Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, aiming to restore balance to and provide support for the musculoskeletal system.

Research studies have suggested that Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine when combined with exercise may be more effective than painkillers alone in the treatment of chronic pain conditions.

Acupuncture is recommended as a valuable treatment in pain management for acute and complex chronic pain. Acupuncture restores the body’s balance to reduce symptoms and to alleviate pain by:

Stimulating specific acupuncture points known to relieve pain.

Enhances the production of chemicals in the brain (endorphins and serotonin) which relieve pain and improve mood.

Stimulates nerves, muscles and connective tissue throughout the body to heal damaged tissue.

Can act as an analgesic for acute pain.

Can be combined with methods such as Chinese Herbal Medicine, Cupping and Moxibustion to expel pain and restore functioning.

Supports other forms of pain relief (such as exercise) by relaxing nerves and muscles throughout the body.
