You can play tennis pain-free! Many pain relieving products on the market only rely on ingredients to reduce the sensation of pain, thereby masking the pain. But Chinese herbs are not mere analgesics that mask pain. Chinese herbs have been used for centuries and are known to have medicinal properties that treat the root cause of the pain because they contain natural energetic substances that subtly yet powerfully correct underlying deficiencies and remove obstructions in the injured area.
Stasis is what causes swelling, inflammation, hematoma, and the discoloration of bruises. Stasis can prevent your body from healing fully and slows down the healing process. The herbal properties work to eliminate this so the body can reabsorb the fluids and increase the flow of blood so that pain relief and healing can take place. The increased circulation aids in this process and brings vital oxygen and nutrients to the injured area so it can repair and heal.
The Great Chinese Warriors believed in the healing power of herbs and developed herbal remedies for quick application. They used these effective herbal remedies directly on the injured area to quickly relieve pain and bruising, reduce swelling and inflammation, increase blood flow and circulation, break up accumulation of fluids, and help damaged tissues regenerate, providing quicker recovery time and overall pain relief. The same formulas that helped the Chinese Warriors centuries ago can be used by you today.
SYMPTOMS AND PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED FOR BRUISING, SWELLING AND INFLAMMATION:
The swelling is the result of the blockage of blood, tissue fluids and circulation in the area because their normal movement has been disrupted by the force of the injury. Just like cars back up behind a traffic jam, causing congestion, exhaust and overheating; blood and fluids back up behind the injured area, causing pain, bruising, swelling and inflammation.
The sensation of heat is due to the warming action of the blood and fluids overheating in the injured area as they back up and accumulate. Stiffness and decreased mobility are due to spasms in tendons and ligaments that have contracted reflexively beyond their normal range from the impact of the injury.
As ligaments and tendons stretch and tear, blood from ruptured blood vessels becomes trapped in the local tissues. As the trapped blood clots up, it sticks the tissues together creating adhesions. Adhesions cause pain, inflammation and restricted movement because the layers of tissue that used to slide smoothly across one another now adhere and snap which interferes with normal functioning. It is essential to break up clotted blood as quickly as possible to prevent adhesions and scar tissue from forming.
During this stage it is very important to restore normal circulation to the injured area, break up clotted blood and stagnant fluids, reduce swelling, and reduce the redness and heat associated with inflammation. By restoring the flow of blood, fluids, and circulation, then pain and bruising is relieved, damaged tissues can regenerate with healthy functional tissue, and the area can strengthen and regain it's mobility.
1. Apply the Sinew Herbal Ice on the area to reduce bruising, redness, swelling, and inflammation while dispersing accumulated blood and fluids to help restore normal circulation. This first-aid treatment is used in place of ice to significantly speed up the healing process. It reduces the swelling and inflammation more effectively than ice, allowing you to more quickly regain range of motion. Acute Sinew Liniment can be used in-between applications.
Ice is not recommended because it does not help repair damaged tissues and keeps everything in the injured area frozen, causing the stagnation of blood and fluids and the contraction of muscles, tendons and ligaments. In Chinese sports medicine ice is not used and is considered a culprit in injuries that don’t heal well.
2. Massage the area with Acute Sinew Liniment to relieve pain and bruising, reduce swelling and inflammation, break up clotted blood and stagnant fluids, and stimulate circulation of blood and fluids to help cells quickly repair damaged tissues. Sinew Herbal Ice can be used in-between applications.
3. The Sinew Sports Massage Oil is recommended for use before and after exercise, sports and strenuous activity. It penetrates the muscle layers to bring heat deep into muscle tissues, relieve soreness, increase circulation, and improve flexibility in muscles and joints.
SYMPTOMS AND PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED WHEN BRUISING, SWELLING AND INFLAMMATION ARE GONE, BUT YOU STILL FEEL PAIN, STIFFNESS, WEAKNESS, AND/OR SENSITIVITY IN COLD AND DAMP WEATHER:
If you still feel aching pain and stiffness after the swelling and inflammation are gone, this is because there are still accumulations of stagnant blood and fluids in the area that are blocking circulation and blood supply to damaged tissues, creating residual pain, stiffness and weakness. You may actually feel hard nodules like sand in the tissue, indicating accumulation, calcification, and adhesions, which all cause pain, stiffness, and joint instability.
Your injured area may feel more sensitive to the cold and ache in cold and damp weather due to impaired circulation. When you move the area you may hear a clicking or popping sound from the tendons and ligaments slipping very slightly in and out of their natural alignment indicating weakness and joint instability, causing chronic pain and a cycle of reinjury. These symptoms are often the result of the area not receiving the proper treatment from the outset and over-icing.
Increasing circulation and blood supply to the damaged tissues is vital in treating chronic injuries because tendons and ligaments do not have an extensive direct supply of blood. That is why chronic injuries can be slow to heal. Increasing local circulation also prevents cold and dampness from penetrating the injured area, preventing pain and stiffness.
During this stage it is very important to break up remaining accumulations of blood and fluids, and increase circulation and blood supply to the damaged tissues. By increasing circulation and blood flow, then pain and stiffness is relieved, and the tendons and ligaments can strengthen to restore stability.
1. Massage the area with Chronic Sinew Liniment to relieve pain and stiffness, strongly stimulate circulation and blood flow to damaged tissues, and promote the healing of overstretched tendons and ligaments. The Sinew Injury Poultice; Sinew Relaxing Soak and/or the Sinew Warming Soak can be used in-between applications.
2. Apply the Sinew Injury Poultice on the area to significantly stimulate circulation and blood flow to damaged tissues, relieve residual pain and stiffness, and further promote the healing of overstretched tendons and ligaments. The Chronic Sinew Liniment; Sinew Relaxing Soak and/or the Sinew Warming Soak can be used in-between applications.
3. The Sinew Sports Massage Oil is recommended for use before and after exercise, sports and strenuous activity. It penetrates the muscle layers to bring heat deep into muscle tissues, relieve soreness, increase circulation, and improve flexibility in muscles and joints.
