Knee pain comes in a variety of flavors. Athletes get knee pain from repetitive stress, injury and overuse. Seniors get knee pain from the natural process of joint degeneration (arthritis). The rest of us get knee pain from life itself, as there are hundreds of creative ways to trigger knee pain just living our daily lives. Today’s blog post describes how acupuncture heals knee pain naturally.
Acupuncture Heals Knee Pain
Knee are two of the most used and abused joints in the body. Every time we stand up, walk to the refrigerator or take the dog for a walk, we’re using our knees. And it’s very easy to throw this joint out of balance. But whether you’re an athlete, a senior, or someone in between, acupuncture is effective for treating knee pain.
How Acupuncture Works
Pain in the body is often caused by blocked channels. Channels are like roads, travelling through the body. Qi (pronounced Chi) flows through these channels. You can think of it as energy flowing through power lines, or cars racing down the highway.
Now imagine there’s an accident on the highway and traffic gets backed up causing congestion. Our body has accidents all the time that cause congestion in a channels. We call that congestion “stagnation”. And a common place to get “qi stagnation” is in the knees.
So knee pain is simply qi stagnation, or stuck qi in the channels. Acupuncture resolves stagnation just like the police clear car accidents and restore the normal flow of traffic. Acupuncture loves resolving stagnation, especially in the joints. There are acupuncture points around joints that work wonders for clearing up congestion, getting the qi to flow again. And once the qi is flowing, the pain is gone.
Not Just A Temporary Fix
Acupuncture heals pain naturally AND long term. Unlike pain medications, which only help for a short time, acupuncture gets the channels open and keeps them open. The Qi energy in our bodies want to flow freely through the body, just like water wants to flow down a river. Given the chance, qi will keep on flowing.
An injury is like a beaver dam blocking a river. Acupuncture gently removes the dam (without hurting the beavers!), allowing Qi to flow again. It will flow until the next group of beavers decide to build another dam. In our case, Qi will flow until the next time we get injured.
