ABSTRACT

Acupuncture and other forms of Chinese traditional medicine have been used for centuries to treat acute pain due to trauma, chronic pain due to injuries, and pain from organic illnesses.

In Chinese traditional medicine, pain is often associated with imbalances within the body that lead to a slowing down or blockage of the body’s energy (Qi). This is known as Stagnant or Stuck Qi or with the blockage of Blood (Xue) due to an acute trauma or a worsening of the Stagnant Qi.
