Five Element Acupuncture for Musculoskeletal Disorders

Musculoskeletal disorders (or MSD’s) are defined as injuries or disorders of the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs. Some common examples of MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendinitis, rotator cuff injuries, osteoarthritis, tension neck syndrome and thoracic outlet compression. Work related musculoskeletal disorders are becoming increasingly common as more people work online under the stresses of the current pandemic.

An increasing number of clinical studies have found Five Element Acupuncture to be effective in treating the chronic pain associated with MSDs. Acupuncture can address the inflammation and musculature breakdown that occurs with MSDs, relieving tension over prolonged periods of treatment.

Living with MSDs that go untreated can result in stress, anxiety, the inability to maintain proper use and function of extremities as well as chronic pain. By treating MSDs through targeted acupuncture, you could be treating the underlying issue of other ailments. The five element system divides the healing experience from biochemical processes to the function of the individual as a whole. In other words, Five Element Acupuncture treats all aspects of the issue unlike medications which merely mask the symptoms without treating the underlying issue.
