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.
