1. Chinese Massage Cardiff and Cupping Cardiff
In Chinese Medicine Cardiff, there is a fundamental theory that states: when the energy (Qi) is
blocked, there is pain. By regulating the flow of Qi in the body, acute and chronic pain can be
relieved.
Neck and shoulder muscle tension can have a variety of causes, with continuous mechanical
strain, constant stress, and trauma being the most frequent. Stiffness is very common, as well
as a lack of circulation in the tissues and fatigue of the muscles, which can lead to joints locking.
Whiplash can cause the muscles to go into permanent spasm, causing pain as well as a limited
range of movement. Acupuncture, Chinese Massage Cardiff and Cupping Cardiff can be very
effective solutions, when treating neck and shoulder problems, improving mobility and
movement.
Back pain can occur from both acute and chronic causes, it is one of the most common reasons
for seeking medical attention as well as being one of the most frequent causes of absence from
work. Stagnation blocks the flow of Qi and the circulation to the lower back, often resulting in
sharp stabbing pains. Some chronic back pain conditions begin as acute trauma, but the back
pain persists due to a disharmony that is preventing the body from healing itself. In chronic
back pain cases which have happened without injury, a constitutional deficiency of the Kidney
can lead to a dull achy type of pain. Acupuncture can support the body’s healing mechanisms
to expedite the healing process whilst decreasing the pain.
A Western medical diagnosis could also be helpful in Acupuncture Treatments Cardiff eg: X-
RAYS and MRI scans. If the back pain radiates down the buttocks and leg, you are experiencing
sciatica, which occurs when the sciatic nerve is being irritated by a herniated disc or the
surrounding muscles, or when the nucleus/cushion within the disc leaks or dries up.
Acupuncture can relieve muscle spasm and help to restore normal movement to the spine,

decreasing inflammation and relieving pain.
