Acute Injuries
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was born thousands of years ago out of a need for treatment of acute illness and injuries.
Acupuncture and other TCM modalities can support the recovery of acute injuries by:
-
Reducing swelling and inflammation
-
Increase microcirculation and blood flow
-
Alleviate pain
-
Promote tissue repair and healing
Types of acute injuries that acupuncture and TCM can help include:
-
Sprains or strains
-
Body soreness after trauma
-
Post surgical healing
-
Cuts or wounds
-
Head, facial, tooth, throat, ear pain associated with acute sickness
The key to avoiding the development of an acute injury into becoming a chronic problem is by tending to it as soon as possible after the incident. Acupuncture should be done within hours - days of injury to avoid scar tissue adhesions, joint dysfunction, and weaknesses of the injured area.
