Herbal Medicine
While acupuncture usually gets all the attention, herbal medicine is a very important part of Chinese medicine. For thousands of years, herbs have been one of the most widely used treatments in China, particularly for internal medicine problems - for example chronic menstrual pain, headaches, and digestive problems.
Through the centuries, Chinese physicians have developed treatments for a wide range of human ailments, including some of the most difficult conditions faced today. All Chinese herbal formulas are prescribed based on an individualized pattern diagnosis that changes as the patient's condition changes. This makes Chinese herbal medicine extremely safe and free of side effects.
The importance of diagnosis
The safety and effectiveness of herbal medicine depends on a proper diagnosis. Herbs have to be prescribed for you. Not for your disease, but for you as an individual. Patients with the same condition might have very different herbs prescribed - because each of us is different. This customized diagnosis and prescription is what makes Chinese herbal medicine so safe, and so effective.
All this requires a trained and licensed professional, like you'll find at East Bay Pain Care.

"Your doctors are very knowledgeable and even more important - they are very patient in explaining everything and answering my questions. That is an exceptional quality you don't often find in today's physicians."
