Holistic treatment for back pain – with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Natural, gentle and effective therapy for acute and chronic back conditions.
Holistic Treatment for Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common complaints in modern society. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers proven, root-cause-oriented treatment methods – gentle, effective and without side effects.
Common Types of Back Pain
- • Lower back pain (Lumbago / LBP)
- • Sciatica / Pain radiating to the leg
- • Disc herniation / Disc prolapse
- • Muscle tension & myofascial tightness
- • Facet joint blocks / spinal joint restriction
- • Neck & shoulder pain (Cervical spine)
- • Acute lumbago (“back locked up”)
- • Pain from prolonged sitting or work posture
Why Choose TCM for Back Pain?
Traditional Chinese Medicine does not only treat symptoms – it addresses the root cause of pain.
- ✓ Releases deep muscle tension
- ✓ Regulates the flow of Qi along the spine
- ✓ Improves blood circulation & tissue regeneration
- ✓ Reduces inflammation & nerve irritation
- ✓ Holistic approach instead of short-term symptom relief
Common Causes from a TCM Perspective
- ✓ Qi and Blood stagnation (“blocked energy”, pulling or stabbing pain)
- ✓ Cold & Dampness in the lower back (common in winter or with AC exposure)
- ✓ Kidney deficiency (typical in chronic lower back pain)
- ✓ Muscle & tendon exhaustion (long sitting / physical overwork)
- ✓ Blockage of meridians along the spine
A precise diagnosis is always individual – based on pain location, intensity, and accompanying symptoms.
