How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views arthritis as Bi syndrome where Wind, Cold, and Dampness obstruct meridians and Qi flow, combined with Liver and Kidney deficiencies that weaken joint structures.
Arthritis and joint pain can severely limit mobility, daily activities, and quality of life through persistent inflammation, stiffness, and discomfort that conventional treatments often only temporarily manage. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to address the underlying patterns causing joint dysfunction, reduce inflammation naturally, and restore healthy joint function for long-term relief and improved mobility.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), arthritis is commonly linked to Bi syndrome (痹证), caused by Wind, Cold, and Dampness invading the meridians and obstructing Qi and Blood flow. Over time, this stagnation leads to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, while underlying deficiencies in Liver and Kidney function weaken the tendons and bones.
