Pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical treatment. Chinese medicine is found to be very effective for alleviating pain. When one is presented with a patient who is complaining of pain, relying solely on a biomedical diagnosis to create a treatment strategy is not recommended to achieve the best results. Resist leaping to conclusions or taking shortcuts in these patients. We will go into some depth exploring the classical terminology and descriptions of pain. Each classical description requires a different treatment strategy. We will explore appropriate acupuncture and Chinese herbal strategies for working with patients when pain is the main complaint.

I will also demonstrate a simple evaluation that is helpful with low back and knee pain.
