Pain is the body's most urgent vocabulary.
In Chinese Medicine, there is a saying: "Where there is stagnation, there is pain. Where there is no stagnation, there is no pain."
Pain is a message — the body's way of saying that something in the flow of energy, blood, or structure has been interrupted. The question isn't just how do we quiet the signal, but what is the signal trying to tell us?
This is where Chinese Medicine and conventional Western pain management part ways so fundamentally.
A painkiller, an anti-inflammatory, even a cortisone injection — these are interventions that address the experience of pain. They do this well, and there is a time and a place for all of them. But they do not explain why the pain is there in the first place, why it keeps coming back, or what it says about the state of your body's internal environment. And so, reliably, the pain returns. Sometimes in the same place. Sometimes, interestingly, somewhere new.
Chinese Medicine asks a different question: where is the flow blocked, and why?
In over two thousand years of clinical refinement, Chinese physicians developed a framework for categorizing pain that has proven itself not only in clinical practice, but, increasingly, under the scrutiny of modern research as well. In this post, I want to walk you through that framework, the tools we use to address it, and the self-care practices you can begin implementing today.
How Chinese Medicine Understands Pain: The Root Framework
Let's come back to that classical phrase: "Where there is free flow, there is no pain. Where there is no free flow, there is pain."
This single principle organizes everything in Chinese Medicine's approach to pain. The question is always: what is obstructing the flow (of vitality, "qi")? And the answer falls into a handful of fundamental categories.
Qi Stagnation — when the life force becomes stuck, often due to stress, emotional tension, sedentary lifestyle, or unprocessed emotion. Qi Stagnation pain tends to change locations, to feel better with movement, to worsen with stress, and to appear and disappear unpredictably.
Blood Stagnation — when blood circulation is impeded, creating fixed, stabbing, or boring pain that worsens with pressure and at night. This is often the Chinese Medicine diagnosis underlying what Western medicine might call things like fibromyalgia, endometriosis, chronic tendinopathy, and post-injury pain.
Bi Syndrome (Painful Obstruction) — when the external pathogenic factors of Wind, Cold, and/or Dampness invade the channels and joints. This is the classical TCM diagnosis most aligned with what Western medicine calls arthritis, rheumatic pain, and musculoskeletal pain. Wind-predominant pain moves around the body; "Cold-predominant" pain is severe, fixed, and relieved by warmth; "Damp-predominant" pain is heavy, aching, and worsened by wet weather.
Damp-Heat — a more inflammatory picture: hot, swollen, red joints with a sense of heaviness. This maps well onto acute inflammatory arthritis, gout, and certain presentations of autoimmune joint disease.
Deficiency pain — when there is not enough Blood, Yin, or Qi to nourish the tissues, pain arises from undernourishment rather than obstruction. This tends to be a dull, chronic ache that improves with rest, worsens with overexertion, and is often accompanied by fatigue, dryness, and other signs of depletion. Liver Blood Deficiency and its effect on the tendons — which I covered in depth in my blog post on perimenopause and joint pain— is a clear example of this category.
One person's "back pain" may fall into several of these categories simultaneously, which is why two patients presenting with the same Western diagnosis may receive entirely different acupuncture treatments and herbal prescriptions.
Acupuncture for Pain: The Mechanisms
Acupuncture is, without question, the most researched complementary therapy for pain relief. There are over 111 systematic reviews examining acupuncture's effects on musculoskeletal pain alone (PMC, 2025), and the evidence base continues to grow. Here is what modern research has confirmed about how it works:
Endogenous opioid release. Acupuncture stimulates the release of the body's own natural pain-modulating chemicals: beta-endorphins, enkephalins, and endomorphins. These bind to the same receptors as pharmaceutical opioids, but without the dependency or side effects. This mechanism has been confirmed in multiple controlled trials and is one reason why acupuncture's pain relief can outlast the treatment session itself.
Adenosine signaling. Research has demonstrated that acupuncture needling triggers a local release of adenosine, a powerful naturally-occurring anti-nociceptive (pain-reducing) compound, at the needle site. This local effect creates an analgesic zone that spreads through the tissue and into the surrounding channels.
Central nervous system modulation. Neuroimaging studies using fMRI and PET scanning have shown that acupuncture activates and deactivates specific regions of the brain involved in pain processing, including the anterior cingulate cortex, the insula, and the default mode network. A 2025 systematic review found that acupuncture produces measurable central nervous system changes in chronic low back pain patients distinct from placebo (PMC, 2025). In short: acupuncture does not just feel like it works. The brain, under imaging, responds differently.
Spinal gating. Acupuncture activates large-diameter nerve fibers (Aβ fibers) that, in the spinal cord's dorsal horn, close the "gate" on pain signals traveling from the periphery. This is the same mechanism underlying TENS therapy, but needles achieve it with far greater precision and at deeper tissue depths.
Local tissue effects. At the site of needling, acupuncture increases local blood circulation, reduces the concentration of inflammatory cytokines, and stimulates fibroblast activity (the cells responsible for rebuilding connective tissue). This is particularly relevant for tendon and ligament injuries, where improving local circulation is foundational to healing.
Acupuncture Styles for Pain
Not all acupuncture looks the same. Over centuries of development, multiple specialized schools have emerged with specific approaches to pain management. Here is how I use them in practice:
Master Tung's Acupuncture
One of the most powerful distal needling systems in existence, Master Tung's tradition uses a specific set of family-lineage points, many of them on the hands, feet, and forearms, to achieve rapid pain relief in distant areas of the body. The principle relies on the body's imaging and holographic organization: for example, treating the hand can create change in the shoulder; treating the foot can resolve pain in the lower back. Tung's points are often described as producing faster and more dramatic results than classical TCM points for pain conditions. They are ideal for acute injury, chronic stubborn pain, and situations where needling the painful area directly is not possible or advisable.
Dr. Tan's Balance Method
Developed by the late Dr. Richard Tan, the Balance Method uses the six classical channel pairing systems and the body's mirroring relationships to select distal points that immediately "balance" the affected channel. Patients often report measurable pain reduction within seconds of needle insertion before they leave the treatment table. It is particularly effective for musculoskeletal pain, joint pain, and headaches, and it allows the practitioner to confirm efficacy in real time during the session by asking the patient to assess their pain.
Scalp Acupuncture
A modern system developed from the convergence of TCM and neuroanatomy, scalp acupuncture targets zones on the scalp that correspond to cortical regions of the brain. It is especially effective for neurological pain (including neuropathy, post-stroke pain, phantom limb pain, and trigeminal neuralgia) and for conditions involving the central nervous system's contribution to chronic pain sensitization.
Abdominal Acupuncture
Developed by Dr. Zhiyun Bo, abdominal acupuncture uses a specific mapping system on the abdomen that reflects the entire body. It is particularly gentle. Needles are inserted very superficially making it appropriate for elderly patients, those with needling sensitivity, or conditions where deeper stimulation is contraindicated. It is highly effective for chronic musculoskeletal pain, degenerative conditions, and pain rooted in deep constitutional deficiency. It is also often clinically used in the treatment of stroke and paralysis.
Electroacupuncture
The application of a small electrical current between paired needles dramatically amplifies the endorphin-releasing and nerve-modulating effects of classical acupuncture. It is particularly useful for chronic pain, nerve pain, and musculoskeletal conditions requiring stronger stimulation.
On "Dry Needling" — and Why Acupuncture Does It Better
Dry needling has become widely practiced by physical therapists and some other manual therapists as a tool for releasing myofascial trigger points. I have written about this at length in a previous blog post on dry needling, but the short version is this: dry needling uses the same needles as acupuncture, targeting the same points (trigger points correspond closely to classical acupuncture points), but without the training, theoretical framework, or diagnostic nuance that guides an acupuncturist's work. Acupuncture achieves the same myofascial release, and more with a less aggressive technique, a more mindful approach to the root cause of why those trigger points are forming, and within a treatment plan that addresses the full pattern rather than the local symptom. Acupuncture also always uses the principle of "Ding Shen" ("settle the spirit") prior to needling any areas of pain. This is because acupuncture acknowledges the role of emotional and nervous system tension in all forms of pain.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is the application of glass, silicone, or bamboo cups to the skin using suction. It creates a lifting, decompressing effect on the fascia and soft tissue beneath. Where massage applies compressive pressure into the tissue, cupping draws the tissue upward, separating fascial layers that have become adhered, increasing local blood flow, and releasing the inflammatory byproducts trapped in chronically contracted tissue.
It is most commonly used for back and neck pain, shoulder tension, respiratory conditions, and musculoskeletal recovery. The characteristic circular marks it leaves are not bruises. They are ecchymosis formed by the release of stagnant blood from the tissue to the surface, normally resolving within 3–7 days. The darker the mark, the more stagnation is present. Athletes and people with desk-driven posture and upper back pain tend to respond rapidly.
Gua Sha is the scraping technique often called "instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization" in Western physical therapy. It operates on a similar principle, using a smooth tool to create micro-circulation along fascial lines. It is particularly effective for neck pain, trigger points, and conditions involving stagnation in the superficial and middle layers of the body.
Moxibustion is the burning of dried Artemisia (mugwort) near or on acupuncture points. It adds warmth, "yang energy", and circulation to areas of cold-type pain: arthritic joints that worsen in cold weather, menstrual cramps relieved by a hot water bottle, or the lower back pain that results from Kidney Yang deficiency. Moxa is an under-appreciated tool for chronic cold-type pain, and I use it extensively in the clinic for certain pain conditions.
Types of Pain Chinese Medicine Addresses
While musculoskeletal pain is where acupuncture has its deepest evidence base and most immediate results, the same principles apply across many categories of pain:
Menstrual and pelvic pain — one of the most consistently responsive conditions in my practice. Blood stagnation and cold in the uterus respond beautifully to acupuncture, moxa, and herbal medicine, often resolving years of menstrual pain within a handful of treatment cycles.
Headaches and migraines — whether tension-type, hormonal, or weather-driven, headaches map cleanly onto TCM patterns. Liver Yang rising, Wind-Cold, Blood deficiency, and Qi stagnation each present differently and respond to different treatment strategies. Acupuncture for migraine has particularly strong clinical evidence, including a 2020 Cochrane review that found it as effective as prophylactic medication with fewer side effects.
Sinus and facial pain — acute and chronic sinusitis, facial pressure, and jaw pain (TMJ) all respond to acupuncture. Points around the face and on the distal extremities can clear sinus congestion, reduce inflammation, and relieve the pressure pain of rhinitis or allergies.
Stomach and digestive pain — whether from irritable bowel, acid reflux, cramping, or chronic bloating, TCM understands digestive pain through the lens of Liver overacting on the Spleen, food stagnation, cold in the stomach, or Qi stagnation in the digestive tract. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are among the most effective natural tools I know for resolving these patterns, in addition to Chinese dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
Nerve pain — neuropathy, sciatica, post-herpetic neuralgia, and other forms of nerve pain can be challenging to treat in other systems of medicine. Scalp acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and trigger-needling have shown particular promise for these neurological pain patterns.
Chinese Herbal Medicine for Pain: Treating the Root, Not the Signal
Anti-inflammatory medications work by suppressing the body's inflammatory response — a necessary short-term measure but one that, over time, interferes with the very healing process inflammation is attempting to initiate. Opioids work by blocking pain receptors — again, useful in acute situations, but with well-documented long-term costs.
Chinese herbal medicine works differently. Each formula is designed to address the underlying pattern that is generating the pain: to move what is stuck, warm what is cold, clear what is inflamed, nourish what is deficient. The pain resolves not because we suppressed the signal, but because we corrected the condition the signal was reporting.
Here are the main diagnostic patterns and the formulas I use to treat them:
Blood Stagnation (Fixed, stabbing, chronic, worse at night)
Western counterparts: fibromyalgia, chronic tendinopathy, post-injury chronic pain, endometriosis, PMS with clotting
Shen Tong Zhu Yu Tang — "Remove Blood Stasis from the Whole Body Decoction." This is the primary formula for generalized musculoskeletal pain rooted in Blood stasis. It combines powerful "blood-moving herbs" (such as Chuan Xiong, Tao Ren, and Hong Hua) with channel-opening herbs (such as Di Long, earthworm — which relaxes spasm and opens the meridians; yes, we use dried earthworm as an herb!) and Wind-Damp-expelling herbs (another category of herbs). Excellent for chronic, stubborn, widespread pain.
Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang — "Remove Blood Stasis from the Lower Abdomen." The primary formula for cold blood stasis in the lower jiao: menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, fibroids with pain. Women who describe period pain that responds to heat, or who pass dark, clotted blood, often respond beautifully to this formula. I've also used this formula to treat woman post-endometriosis-surgery with great success.
Wind-Cold-Damp Bi Syndrome (Aching, stiff, worse in cold/damp weather)
Western counterparts: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis in remission, chronic joint stiffness, weather-dependent pain
Juan Bi Tang — "Expel Painful Obstruction Decoction." One of the most versatile formulas for Wind-Cold-Damp Bi, particularly when it affects the shoulders, upper back, and arms. Warming, channel-opening, and blood-moving, it is well suited to early-to-mid stage Bi syndrome before deep deficiency has set in.
Du Huo Ji Sheng Wan — among the most enduringly prescribed classical formulas in the world, Du Huo Ji Sheng treats chronic Wind-Cold-Damp Bi with underlying Liver and Kidney deficiency. It is the formula for the lower back, hips, and knees in people who have been in pain for years, are constitutionally depleted, and feel worse in cold, damp conditions. An extraordinary formula for older patients and for perimenopausal women whose joint pain has a clear deficiency component. Caution: this formula can cause insomnia in those who do not have a "deficiency" pattern. Always work with a licensed herbalist prior to starting any herbal formula.
Damp-Heat Bi (Hot, swollen, inflamed joints; acute flares)
Western counterparts: gout, reactive arthritis, acute inflammatory arthritis flares, Lyme arthritis
Si Miao San — "Four-Marvel Powder." Clears Damp-Heat from the lower body; particularly indicated for hot, swollen, painful knees and ankles, or for joint pain accompanied by gout. Direct, efficient, and elegantly simple.
Blood and Qi Deficiency Pain (Dull, chronic, worse with fatigue and overexertion)
Western counterparts: fibromyalgia with fatigue, post-viral pain syndromes, pain in the context of anemia or depletion
Shao Yao Gan Cao Tang — the classical two-herb formula for muscle and tendon spasm from Blood deficiency (paeoniflorin + glycyrrhizin), which I discuss in my blog post on perimenopause and joint health. I love this formula for preventing and treating menstrual pain, as well as for athletes experiencing muscle cramping due to over training.
Ba Zhen Tang — "Eight Treasure Decoction." The foundational formula for "Qi and Blood deficiency". Pain arising from insufficient nourishment of the tissues — the dull, achy, fatigue-driven aching that worsens when you push yourself and improves with rest — often responds to building the foundation rather than moving what isn't there to move.
Headache Patterns
Tian Ma Gou Teng Yin — for headaches arising from Liver Yang rising (often presenting as throbbing, temporal, stress- and emotion-triggered headaches, possibly with dizziness or tinnitus). This is one of the most commonly indicated formulas for migraine in perimenopausal women.
Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao San — a classical formula for Wind-Cold headaches: sharp, sudden-onset, often at the occiput and spreading forward, worsened by cold and wind. The quintessential formula for tension headaches with a Wind-Cold component.
Menstrual Pain
As above, Shao Fu Zhu Yu Tang is primary for cold blood stasis. Where heat is present — inflammatory period pain, or some types of endometriosis-type pain — a practitioner will modify this formula accordingly with herbs that clear heat and move blood.
I often prescribe the herb Yan Hu Suo as a single herb at the start of menses as a form of general non-habit-forming pain relief medicine.
Topical Chinese Herbal Medicine
Not everything needs to be taken internally. The skin is a highly absorptive organ, and Chinese medicine has a long tradition of topical herbal applications for pain — liniments, plasters, and patches that deliver active compounds directly to the affected tissue.
Yunnan Baiyao Patches — perhaps the most iconic Chinese herbal topical product in the world. Yunnan Baiyao (White Medicine from Yunnan province) has been used for over a century to stop bleeding, resolve blood stasis, and relieve pain. The patches are used for acute sprains, bruises, muscle aches, joint pain, and back pain. They are warming, circulation-promoting, and genuinely effective. Apply after a warm bath for maximum absorption. (Note: this formula is also given internally to both humans and animals with various forms of internal bleeding, such as after an accident or external trauma)
Zheng Gu Shui — "Bone-Setting Water," a traditional liquid liniment for acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Applied topically to sprains, fractures (to accelerate healing), and areas of blood stasis with pain. It has a strong, characteristic smell and is particularly popular among martial artists and athletes. Excellent for acute injury.
Wu Yang Pain-Relieving Plasters — warming plasters for Cold-Damp Bi syndrome pain: stiff, aching joints and muscles that worsen in cold weather. Similar in application to the common Western "heat patch" but with a herbal active component.
White Flower Oil and Po Sum On — traditional warming liniments used throughout Asia for headaches (applied to the temples), muscle aches, nasal congestion, and general pain. White Flower oil has a cooling mint-camphor quality well suited to heat-type headaches and sinus pain. Po Sum On has a warmer profile suited to cold-type musculoskeletal pain.
A practical note: I always recommend sourcing Chinese herbal products from reputable suppliers with third-party testing, particularly for internal formulas. Quality varies significantly across brands.
Lifestyle Medicine for a Pain-Free Body
The best treatment for pain is not having to treat it. Chinese Medicine is, at its core, a preventive system, one that emphasizes the daily cultivation of conditions that make pain unlikely to take hold.
Qigong and Mindful Movement
Of all the lifestyle tools I recommend for pain prevention and management, qigong is number one. Qigong works simultaneously on circulation, nervous system regulation, fascial mobility, and the body's relationship to its own internal signals. It is the original "mind-body medicine".
If you are new to qigong or looking for a light, joint-friendly practice, try my Qigong for Joint Health routine — it is gentle enough for recovery days and effective enough to use as a regular preventive practice:
Regular Stretching — Especially the Hips and Lower Body
In Chinese Medicine, tension in the lower body is reflective of stagnation in the "leg meridians" Chronically tight hips create Qi stagnation and constraint that ripples into back pain, knee pain, and emotional tension. A regular hip and hamstring opening practice is not just a flexibility exercise — it is the maintenance of free flow of emotional energy throughout the body.
For a quick, effective deep stretch for the hips and legs, try this free quick stretch routine on my YouTube channel:
And if you want to create a regular stretch routine, I offer a free livestreamed bedtime stretch every Wednesday evening on YouTube Live. Class recordings are also available on the Inner Body Data On Demand membership platform. It is one of the simplest, most consistently impactful practices you can build in to your week to prevent pain, stiffness, and promote life-long mobility.
Epsom Salt Foot Baths Before Bed
This one sounds almost too simple, but do not underestimate it. Magnesium sulfate (the active compound in Epsom salt) absorbs through the skin, relaxing smooth and skeletal muscle, reducing systemic inflammation, and calming the nervous system. In Chinese Medicine, soaking the feet warms the Kidney channel (the "root of vitality", our deepest reserves), promotes the downward movement of Yang energy that is needed for sleep, and draws stagnant Qi downward out of the head and shoulders. Twenty minutes in warm (not scalding) Epsom salt water before bed with 2 cups of salts in a basin or bathtub is one of the best complements to any pain management protocol. Even without the magnesium, a hot foot soak can do wonders to facilitate full body relaxation.
Self-Massage
Regular self-massage stimulates the acupressure points on the hands, feet, and ears — microsystems that reflect the entire body — and keeps local circulation moving in areas prone to stagnation. For a guided bedtime self-massage practice (excellent for neck, shoulder, and general tension before sleep):
🎥 Bedtime Self-Massage for Insomnia & Tension Relief
Dietary Anti-Inflammatory Practices
Chinese Medicine's dietary approach to pain prevention emphasizes:
- Warming, cooked foods for those prone to Cold-type pain (soups, broths, cooked grains, root vegetables)
- Reducing Damp-producing foods for those prone to heavy, achy Damp-type pain (excess dairy, refined sugar, alcohol, cold raw foods)
- Blood-nourishing foods for those with deficiency-type pain (dark leafy greens, beets, bone broth, eggs, dark berries — see my full Liver Blood foods list in my previous blog post.
- Anti-inflammatory spices throughout cooking: turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper
Heat Therapy and Warmth
"Cold-type" pain — the deep, aching pain that tightens and seizes in cold weather — is universally worsened by ice therapy. The Western habit of applying ice to injuries runs directly counter to Chinese Medicine's understanding of pain: ice contracts the tissue, slows circulation, and drives Cold deeper into the channels. For acute trauma, brief cold application may help with swelling in the first 24–48 hours, but heat — a warm compress, a hot water bottle, a heat lamp — is the appropriate treatment for most chronic and Cold-type pain. Moxibustion (mugwort heat therapy applied at acupuncture points) takes this a step further, introducing medicinal warmth precisely where it is needed. The burning of moxa also produces a type of infrared heat, which allows it to penetrate more deeply into the body.
Personalized Care: How to Work With Me
Whether you're navigating chronic back pain that keeps returning no matter what you try, menstrual cramps you've been managing since your teens, the mysterious joint aches of perimenopause, or headaches that creep in and out — there is a pattern underneath each of these, and Chinese Medicine has a unique, personalized approach for each.
