Pain & Injury

Understanding Pain and Injury in Chinese Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pain occurs when the flow of energy (Qi) in the body is blocked or stagnated. This can result from trauma, overuse, poor health, or emotional and mental stress. Pain is a complex symptom, and treating it requires understanding its underlying cause.

What We Assess

We assess your pain’s characteristics—whether it’s sharp, dull, burning, or throbbing—along with factors that improve or worsen it. This may include time of day, movement, rest, posture, or environmental conditions like heat and cold. By understanding your pain and how it affects your life, we develop a tailored treatment plan.

How We Treat Pain

At Franklin Acupuncture & Wellness, we use a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, gua-sha, kinesiology (muscle testing) and lifestyle guidance to restore the smooth flow of Qi and relieve pain. Our holistic approach addresses both the symptoms and the root cause of your discomfort.

Injury and ACC Support

Trauma-related injuries can lead to chronic pain if not treated properly. We are registered ACC providers and offer acupuncture for pain relief within 12 months of the injury date, with a valid ACC claim number.

Effective Pain Relief with Acupuncture Acupuncture is recognized by ACC as an effective treatment for pain and injury.
