At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we use a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support individuals experiencing Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. From a TCM perspective, these symptoms often arise from wind-damp invasion, Qi and blood stagnation, and kidney-liver deficiencies affecting the joints.

By restoring balance in the body’s Qi and blood circulation and reducing inflammation, TCM can help improve comfort, joint function, and overall wellbeing.

Our TCM Methods for Rheumatoid Arthritis Support

1. Acupuncture

Acupuncture points are carefully selected to:

  • Reduce joint pain and inflammation
  • Enhance circulation in affected areas

2. Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture strengthens the effects of traditional acupuncture by:

  • Stimulating deep tissues and meridian pathways
