Joint Disorders 关节疾病

Joint disorders refer to diseases that affect the structure and function of the joints, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions can cause joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited mobility. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) attributes joint disorders to factors such as poor circulation of qi and blood, blockage of meridians, and invasion of cold and dampness. Therefore, the goal of TCM treatment for joint disorders is to alleviate symptoms, reduce inflammation, and promote the restoration of joint function through methods such as regulating qi and blood, unblocking meridians, and dispelling cold and dampness. A TCM practitioner will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's specific condition, constitution, and underlying causes, which may include herbal medicine, acupuncture, tuina massage, and appropriate exercise.

关节疾病是指影响关节结构和功能的疾病，常见的包括风湿性关节炎、骨关节炎、类风湿关节炎等。这些疾病会导致关节疼痛、肿胀、僵硬和功能受限。中医认为关节疾病多与气血不畅、经络阻滞、寒湿侵袭等因素有关。因此，中医治疗关节疾病的目标是通过调理气血、疏通经络、驱散寒湿等方法来缓解症状、减轻炎症、促进关节功能的恢复。中医师会根据患者的具体病情、体质和病因制定个性化的治疗方案，可能包括中药治疗、针灸、推拿按摩和适当的运动锻炼等。
