• Back and joint pain can occur for many different reasons. It can come on suddenly or through gradual wear and tear of the spinal and joint structures. 
• Some of the main reasons pain can flare up includes muscle strains, ligament or tendon damage, spinal disc injury, subluxation of a vertebrae, or a combination of any of these. 
• The result can be inflammation in the joints or aching in the musculature, both of which can bring about pain often debilitating enough to restrict movement and interfere with your  activities. 
•  To properly treat, the specific cause of the pain must be uncovered, and the health status of the individual experiencing the pain should be evaluated as well. 
• Acupuncture, herbs, meditation, exercise, yoga and nutrition have all been proven very effective in the treatment of chronic pain. 

• Dr. Chianni Lin’s integrative approach to treatment combines these methods in the best way possible to relieve you of your  pain. 

• Recent research has shown that chronic inflammation is very common in people who have high-stress lives. That inflammation exacerbates many common physical health issues such as diabetes and cancer and has major links to depression and mental health as well. 
• Many patients notice that they feel more physical pain when they are stressed or depressed, and feel less pain and have more energy when they are happy and full of life. 
• Similarly, when inflammation is causing a life full of chronic pain, patients often experience increased stress, anxiety, and depression.
•  A growing number of people are seeking alternatives to antidepressant medications. In many cases, stress and anxiety can be effectively treated without using habit-forming medications. 

• Acupuncture, herbal medicine, anti-inflammatory foods, meditation and movement/exercise can make a significant difference in dealing with chronic inflammation, stress and anxiety, and in reducing symptoms of depression.

• Digestive health is a field of medicine that focuses on the digestive system, which includes everything from the tongue and salivary glands to the stomach, intestines, liver and pancreas. Any medical issue, disorder, or disease that affects one or more of these organs falls under the umbrella of digestive health. 
• Disorders include the following: Gastritis, Acid reflux, Crohn’s disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Ulcerative colitis.
•  According to Oriental Medicine theory, most digestive disorders are due to disharmony in the spleen and stomach. The spleen plays a central part in the health of the body, taking a lead role in the assimilation of nutrients and maintenance of physical strength. It turns digested food from the stomach into usable nutrients and qi (energy).  

•  A variety of techniques are used by Dr. Lin during her treatments including acupuncture, herbal medicine, healthy lifestyle/dietary recommendations, and exercises to restore digestive health and reinforce a long-term healthy lifestyle. 

• Skin disorders are conditions that affect the skin which is the body’s largest organ. There are many different types of skin disorders, and they can cause a wide array of symptoms, including rashes, roughness, oily skin, blisters, and spots. 
• These and other symptoms can range in severity from mild to severe. Some common skin disorders include eczema, acne, cold sores, rosacea and psoriasis. 
•  From an Oriental Medicine viewpoint, it is important to assess the patient’s symptoms and then to determine whether it is of internal or external origin.
• Internal imbalances are often reflected on the skin. When skin issues are generated by internal imbalance, the underlying problem or root cause must be addressed to appropriately treat the issue. 

•  In addition to the use of Chinese herbal medicine, Dr. Lin uses acupuncture to activate the immune and endocrine systems. In addition, Dr. Lin also often recommends changes in diet and lifestyle as they have a significant impact of the health of our skin and our body overall.
