“Chinese medicine has a much more down to earth and immediately
understandable vision of what causes joint pain and what you can do for it. Most
of us on hearing that the most probable initial event in OA (osteoarthritis) is the
mitosis of the chondrocyte with increased synthesis of proteoglycans and type II
collagen, won’t have the foggiest notion of what this means on an everyday level
and what we ourselves can do about this. Traditional Chinese Medicine . . . is
based on a vision of the human body as a microcosmic miniature of the natural
world. Therefore, the language of Chinese medicine is the language we use
everyday to describe events in the world around us. More importantly, using this
language, we are empowered to take charge of our own lives and well-being so
that whether we experience pain and discomfort becomes a function of how we
live our life.” (Flaws and Frank, 2006)
