our approach

how we provide relief from Arthritis

At Weng’s Acupuncture & Herbs Clinic in San Diego, we believe in a holistic approach to alleviating the symptoms and discomfort associated with arthritis. Utilizing the time-honored techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we employ treatments like acupuncture, herbal remedies, and Tui Na Traditional Chinese Massage. Using acupuncture to target specific energy meridians, our approach regulates and stimulates the body’s healing processes to reduce arthritis-related inflammation and pain, while our herbal formulations restore body balance, and Tui Na massage enhances circulation and mobility in affected areas.

Navigating Arthritis: Your Questions Answered

Dealing with health issues, regardless of their nature, often leads to a myriad of questions and concerns. Understanding the root causes, the symptoms, and most crucially, the effective treatment options can sometimes feel overwhelming. Recognizing the need for clarity and guidance, we’ve assembled a list of frequently asked questions tailored to address common health conditions for the people of San Diego.

Arthritis is not just a singular disease; rather, it’s an umbrella term that encapsulates over 100 distinct conditions affecting joints and surrounding tissues. It’s characterized primarily by inflammation of one or more joints which leads to pain and stiffness. While osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition due to wear and tear, is the most common type, other forms like rheumatoid arthritis involve the immune system attacking the body’s own tissues. Arthritis can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles, making it one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.

If you are suffering from arthritis and are located in the San Diego, CA area, we urge you to book a consultation with our incredible staff. At your consultation, we will dive into the root cause of your symptoms, develop a results-based action plan, and assist you on your journey to a happier, healthier, and pain-free life.

Arthritis, being an umbrella term for various joint disorders, manifests in a plethora of symptoms, though some are more common across its types. At its core, arthritis invariably involves joint pain, often described by patients as a persistent ache or intermittent sharp pain in one or multiple joints. Accompanying this pain is often a recognizable stiffness, particularly noticed upon waking in the morning or after extended periods of inactivity. As the condition advances, reduced joint mobility becomes evident, which can make daily tasks progressively challenging. Some patients might notice a grating sensation or even hear clicking or cracking sounds when they move. Swelling in and around the joint areas, warmth, and redness can also be indicative of certain types of arthritis. It’s worth noting that certain forms, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can produce symptoms beyond the joints, including fatigue, fever, and weight loss.

At Weng’s Acupuncture & Herbs Clinic in San Diego, CA, our treatment strategies for arthritis are firmly anchored in the profound wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), always tailored to the distinct needs and conditions of each patient. Acupuncture often stands as a primary mode of intervention, with precise needle placements aimed at rejuvenating specific energy meridians, thereby regulating and invigorating the body’s innate healing mechanisms to reduce inflammation and the associated pain. Herbal remedies, crafted based on ancient formulas, are regularly prescribed to balance internal dynamics, providing both pain relief and enhancing overall joint function and health. Tui Na massage, which zeroes in on affected joints and surrounding tissues, facilitates improved circulation and mobility, reducing stiffness often found in arthritic conditions. For those whose arthritis symptoms may be exacerbated by lifestyle or dietary factors, nutritional guidance is also provided as a supportive measure. Ultimately, our holistic approach focuses on treating the root causes of arthritis, delivering comprehensive relief and fostering a renewed sense of vitality.

Embracing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for arthritis means tapping into millennia of holistic healing wisdom, where the body’s interconnectedness and balance take center stage. In the TCM philosophy, arthritis is often viewed as a blockage or imbalance of the body’s life energy, or “Qi”. Acupuncture, a cornerstone of TCM, seeks to restore this balance by targeting specific energy pathways or meridians, offering not just symptomatic relief, but addressing the underlying imbalances causing the ailment. Additionally, herbal remedies, customized to individual needs, can bolster the body’s defenses, reduce inflammation, and promote joint health. TCM’s focus on diet and lifestyle as therapeutic tools further complements these treatments. By opting for TCM, you’re not just treating arthritis in isolation but prioritizing an integrated, holistic path to overall well-being.
