Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM) has been used for thousands of year to treat acute and chronic pain. Today, acupuncture is receiving more and more publicity as less pain medications, such as the COX-2 inhibitors, are used to treat pain in a conventional setting. Herbal therapy is often used instead of pain medication and can help speed recovery time. If you are suffering from stiff joints, an aching low back or tingling down your arm, you may be an excellent candidate for TOM.
