Swollen joints (joint effusion) are usually a clearly visible enlargement of the joint with swelling often caused by fluid accumulation.  A joint swelling may affect the small joints of the hands and fingers or that of the foot and legs or the larger joints like the wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee and ankle. Most noticeable joint swellings affect the hinged joints and ball and socket joints. Joints are the junction where two or more bones meet usually to allow for some degree of movement. The ends of the bones are lined with cartilage which is resistant to wear and tear. The joint is lined by a synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid within an enclosed sac, the bursa, to allow for reduced friction as the bones articulate.

In traditional Chinese medical theory, it is believed that the pathogenic factors that cause Bi syndrome (Wind, Cold, Damp, Heat) lodge in the body’s meridians (energy pathways) and obstruct the free flow of Chi and Blood in those meridians. When blood and energy are not able to flow naturally, they stagnate, causing pain, heat, and other symptoms of illness. Acupuncture and herbal therapy help to open the blockage, balance the energy, and harmonize Chi and Blood.
