In Chinese medicine, fall is the season of the Lung and Large Intestine—an elemental shift that often stirs up underlying inflammation. The dry, crisp air outside mirrors the dryness and contraction happening inside the body. If your system is already inflamed, this seasonal transition can tighten tissues, slow circulation, and make old pain—especially in weight-bearing joints like the knees—more noticeable.
Chronic inflammation is sneaky. It doesn’t just cause stiffness or swelling. It changes how the body heals, keeping tissues from repairing fully and making flare-ups more frequent. That’s why you may notice your knees feel more achy, puffy, or unstable as the seasons change.
☯️ Acupuncture approaches this differently. Rather than chasing symptoms, we look at the whole system—reducing inflammation at the root, improving circulation through the joints, and helping the body adapt more smoothly to seasonal transitions. Over time, this means less pain, steadier mobility, and fewer flare-ups when the weather shifts.
🌿 We also have truly effective natural herbal remedies--balms, liniments, creams, patches, soaks--that treat pain and promote soft tissue healing. And custom formulas for increasing circulation, decreasing inflammation, reducing swelling, and changing the pain pattern.
Imagine greeting fall without the nagging ache in your knees every time you take the stairs or go for a walk. Imagine feeling more resilient in your body instead of bracing for the next flare.
If knee pain or chronic inflammation has been weighing you down, let’s talk.
