Is gout massage good?

There are various gout treatment methods, which can be oral, massage and external treatment. Massage is an important method in Chinese medicine, which can stimulate neurovascular through acupuncture points, increase metabolism and improve circulation. Certain acupuncture points may reduce the production of uric acid and also promote the excretion of uric acid, which can achieve the effect of lowering uric acid. If in the acute stage, acupuncture can also be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. The techniques and methods used may be different for different episodes, and patients in this case need to go to a professional acupuncture and massage department for treatment. Gout is treated differently in the asymptomatic and acute arthritic phases, as well as in the intermittent phase. In the intermittent period to excrete uric acid or inhibit the production of uric acid is more important.

Especially nowadays, patients present with gout at a younger age, in many cases with fatty liver, and kidney changes are relatively less in recent years, because it is easier to detect kidney changes. The use of tui na and massage may have a very positive effect, and the effect may be better in the acute phase with acupuncture, which is not recommended in the acute phase.
