1. Understand the origins of your back pain
Back pain, this omnipresent pain that disrupts the daily lives of many individuals, has its roots in a variety of causes. From muscle tension to spinal disorders, stress and poor posture, understanding the origin of your pain is the first step towards healing.
External Blockage – Qi Stagnation External invasions such as cold-damp or hot-damp can obstruct our body's meridians in the spine, causing stiffness, tension, and pain. Arthritis is a common example, illustrating how these blockages particularly affect the back and lower back, areas sensitive to this stagnation.
Trauma – Blood Stasis Back pain can also result from direct trauma, such as heavy lifting, a sports injury, or repetition of movements which leads to local inflammation and the formation of thick, stagnant blood. at the scene of the trauma.
Internal Deficiency – Insufficient Kidney Yin or Yang Persistent lower back pain may indicate kidney weakness – essential in Chinese medicine. This weakness can be linked to various factors such as inadequate diet, overwork, or even natural aging.
In addition to these main causes, it is important to consider referred pain which, originating from other organs, manifests itself in the back.
At Health Garden & Wellness, therapists deepen their understanding of your condition to provide targeted and effective treatment. Using their expertise, they help you decipher your body's messages and begin a path to lasting relief.
Why is Qi blockage painful?
A blockage of Qi can be compared to a dam on a river: it disrupts the natural flow, causing an accumulation of energy upstream and a deficiency downstream. This stagnation of energy creates pressure in the meridians, manifesting as tension, stiffness, and ultimately, pain. The causes of these blockages are varied and can include external factors such as climate, inappropriate diet, physical injuries, or even negative emotional states such as stress or anxiety.
Acupuncture as a solution
Acupuncture, one of the branches of Chinese medicine, intervenes precisely to restore the harmonious flow of Qi. By inserting fine needles into specific points of the meridians, it aims to remove obstructions and encourage Qi to resume its natural course. This release not only relieves pain but also restores the body's energy balance, thus promoting holistic healing.
Our therapists, thanks to an in-depth understanding of the meridians and Qi dynamics, are able to identify blockage points and apply the most appropriate treatment. This expertise allows us to offer a personalized response to your unique needs, treating not only the symptoms of pain but also their root causes.
By understanding the central role of Qi and the impact of blockages on our well-being, we can better appreciate the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment method. It is an invitation to explore a path of healing which, although centuries old, finds particular resonance in our modern lives, often marked by stress and imbalance.
