Elbow Pain Relief
with Navel Acupuncture
By identifying the specific elbow pain pattern and underlying cause, navel acupuncture can help relieve elbow pain effectively while supporting more stable joint function and recovery.
Does your Elbow Pain look like this?
You CAN benefit from James Navel Acupuncture if you have one or more of the following:
✓ Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Pain on the outer side of the elbow, often aggravated by gripping, lifting, or repetitive wrist and hand movements.
Common in desk work, manual tasks, sports, and repetitive-use activities.
✓ Post-Injury or Post-Surgical Elbow Pain
Residual elbow pain, tightness, sensitivity, or movement limitation following injury, trauma, or surgery.
Often associated with protective tension or reduced movement confidence.
✓ Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Pain on the inner side of the elbow, often worsened by gripping, pulling, or wrist flexion activities.
May develop gradually with overuse or repetitive strain.
✓ General Elbow Area Pain
Aching, soreness, stiffness, or discomfort around the elbow area, involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves.
Pain may be related to movement, prolonged use, or repetitive loading.
🌿How Does Navel Acupuncture Treat Headache?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, elbow pain is often related to the regulation of Qi and blood, the functional state of the internal organs, and the coordination of the meridian system, rather than a single local structure in the elbow area.
Navel Acupuncture works through whole-body regulation, helping rebalance Qi and blood, support organ function, and harmonize meridian pathways that influence the elbow region.
Once the specific pain pattern and involved area are identified, navel acupuncture can often relieve elbow pain efficiently—sometimes within the same treatment session—while promoting more stable and lasting improvement.
🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?
Every elbow pain condition is different. Treatment is individualized.
The following are general clinical references:
Acute elbow pain
Often shows clear improvement within 1–3 sessions.
Chronic or recurrent elbow pain
Commonly stabilizes after 3–6 sessions.
Stubborn or complex elbow pain
(Long history, multiple contributing factors)
Usually requires 1–2 courses of treatment, about 5–10 sessions.
Elbow pain related to trauma or surgery
Requires individualized evaluation based on medical findings.
The number of sessions varies from case to case.
🌿 Treatment Notes
Before Treatment
Please review the precautions for Navel Acupuncture before treatment.
If you have had any recent medical tests, imaging, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
During Treatment
Needle sensations vary from person to person. Mild pain or soreness during insertion may occur and is normal.
In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe acupuncture treatment. Please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension.
After Treatment
Rest after treatment. Drinking warm water may help support circulation and metabolic adjustment. Please avoid excessive exertion and exposure to cold or wind.
Many elbow pain patients notice improvement during the same treatment session.
In rare cases involving more complex conditions, some patients may experience temporary soreness, stiffness, fatigue, or mild changes in arm or elbow sensation after returning home, usually on the following day or later.
These are considered healing responses. Please do not be overly concerned and return for follow-up assessment as needed.
