Chinese medicine views musculoskeletal pain—like low back pain, shoulder pain, or joint stiffness—as signs that the flow of energy and blood in the body has been blocked or disrupted. This can happen due to injury, overuse, stress, or even changes in the weather. When this flow is stuck, it can lead to pain, tightness, swelling, or limited movement. Rather than just masking the pain, Chinese medicine works to restore balance and address the root cause.

At Golden Crane Acupuncture, we use acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other hands-on techniques to reduce pain, improve circulation, and support healing in the muscles and joints. Acupuncture helps relax tight areas, reduce inflammation, and bring fresh blood flow to injured tissues. Whether you’re dealing with a recent strain or chronic discomfort, we create a treatment plan tailored to your needs—so you can move with greater ease and feel more like yourself again.
