arthritis in hands for 1 month

50 yr old female patient came due to pain in her hands for 1 month. most of her hand joints are swollen and deviated.

Patient is thin female and has a history of chronic slow digestion issues-gas and bloating in her stomach. she always has cold hands and feet and according to her pain in her both hands gets worse when the weather gets cold and damp.

acupuncture was used right after a physical therapy treatment.

ST 44- St 41 +

immediately patient felt the improvement. this type of pain normally requires about 8 sessions until the pain is gone.

Added GB 43 with sedation methods
ST 41 with tonification methods to focus on treating cold and damp issues.
