NECK PAIN
Neck pain is a common complaint for many people and can affect many aspects of your daily life. Your neck is crucial in the movement of your head, and if you’re experiencing neck pain, it can limit how far you can turn your head or bend your neck and can also impact daily activities such as driving, working and sleeping.
How common is Neck Pain?
Neck pain is one of the most common conditions seen in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and one of the most common issues I see.
How does Chinese Medicine Diagnose Neck Pain?
In an appointment with a TCM Practitioner, a detailed history will be taken, and extensive testing will be done to try to determine the exact cause of your neck pain and the best course of treatment. Through taking an in-depth history of your pain, the location of your pain, and which movements aggravate or relieve your pain, we can closer determine where your pain is coming from – whether it be from a disc, facet joint, or one of the other soft tissues in your neck such as ligaments and muscles. It is important to develop a clear understanding of which tissues are causing your pain so as to determine the best management plan for you, and so, if required, we may decide that other tests could be useful for your diagnosis, such as an x-ray or MRI.
The disease is not important. The “patient” is important, because the patient has created the disease. The cause is in the patient; the disease is only a symptom. You can change the symptom, and another symptom will come up. You can force this disease by drugs, you can stop its expression, but then the disease will assert itself somewhere else and with more danger, more force – with a vengeance. So we will feel the “patient.” As we all aware education and experience equality important. But most important to get in tune with the “patient” and find the cause using both western and eastern medicine. We care and will build a rapport; and create a bridge on your healing journey!
