Briefly, use of this ancient treatment in the West
demonstrated its ability to be a natural alternative modality
for many hardly treatable chronic medical problems. Although
conventional medicine brings releif to the patient, usually it
doesn’t cure it, but helps person to live with
his
problem. Traditional Chinese Medicine, however, treat the root
of the problem. For example, contemporaty management of sports
injuries generally limited to use of painkillers. TCM, however,
considers traumatic pain as the result of blood stagnation,
caused by sports injury. The speed of its resolution
completely depends on status of personal Yin-Yang balance.
Chosen treatment, either acupuncture or Chinese herbs, aims to
activate human defence mechanisms through reestablishing of
disturbed Yin-Yang balance to move stagnant blood and resolve
long-term chronic problem.
