The Temple City branch has had a recent cash winner of awards given to randomly chosen bank customers nationwide who helped by completing the survey.

Strain of a shoulder over a long time such as trauma, invasion of wind, cold and dampness will cause stagnation of Qi, blood and chronic inflammation. It will lead to obstruction of channels and pain is derived from channel obstruction, which may idle the shoulder joints causing adhesion of joints and limitation of movements of shoulder. Clinical manifestations at an early stage are aching pain and it may be radiating to the neck feedback and have a chance to win $1,000. To encourage customers to take the survey, the following prizes are offered: • One prize of $1,000 will be awarded per Weekly Sweepstakes (nationwide) • One potential winner will be chosen for each Weekly Sweepstakes randomly on or about the sixth business day following the last day of the applicable week. • Non-winning entries will not roll over into the next week’s sweepstakes Rules: • Must be a legal resident of the United States and forearm. There may be a couple of sensitive tender points around the joint. If movement of both shoulders is limited, especially abduction, external rotation and elevation from the back, acupuncture is one of the most effective measures in relieving shoulder pain. Stimulation of local points will facilitate the flow of Qi in the local channels, invigorate the circulation of blood and disperse channel stagnation. It also stimulates self-healing mechanism of the body. Cupping is also a good energizer for the vital Qi and blood of the affected areas.

The club has a number of annual activities open to all members and on occasion to longer be attached and pain will be released. In a case history, Angela, age 52, has had right arm pain for 3 months. The pain is worse at night and movement was limited, she could not raise her arm from the back and tenderness was found in shoulder joints. She felt better right after treatment and total recovery was achieved, followed by several more treatments Clinically, acupuncture treatment has provided positive evidence to the healing process for perifocal inflammation of the shoulder. Functional restoration is also satisfactory and recurrence can be avoided. Sportsmen Club invites new members guests. They have a Bass Derby, Trout Derby and as member interest permits, there is a offer Surf Perch Derby. While many club members involve themselves in hunts for big game as far away as Canada, the most anticipated event during the hunting season is the annual Chucker hunt.

Repeated motions strain smaller muscles and joints causing pain, swelling and limited use of the body part. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), is one type of repetitive motion injury involving the wrist. The word “carpal” comes from the Latin word “carpus,” meaning “wrist,” and “tunnel” refers to the shape formed by the wrist bones and a tough membrane binding the bones together. If the soft tissues within this tunnel swell, they press on and pinch the Median Nerve, causing pain. “Syndrome” indicates several symptoms together characterizing a specific disease. Symptoms of CTS include tingling and intermittent numbness of the hand, often accompanied by pains shooting up the arm from the wrist, generally worsening at night disrupting sleep. Hanging your hand over the side of the bed and rubbing or shaking it may lessen the pain. A severe condition may lead to weakness of the thumb and one or more fingers, or unpleasant stiffness or clumsiness in the fingers, especially in the morning. POSSIBLE CAUSES: • Vigorous use of the hand producing blood vessel swelling. • Inflammation of tendons in the fingers, possibly due to overuse with repetitive motions or unusual strain on the wrist. • Rheumatoid arthritis causing increased swelling in the wrist. • Fluid retention (from PMS or the last trimester of pregnancy) putting pressure on the nerve. • Various metabolic diseases, including gout, hypothyroidism, acromegaly or amyloidosis. Some very mild cases may clear up by themselves. Classic treatment immobilizes the wrist with a splint for two or three weeks. In many cases, physical therapy helps, using electrical stimulation, manual therapy and exercise. Taking B vitamins helps in mild cases. Making modifications in using your wrist and hands can make a tremendous difference, as this addresses the reason the problem occurred in the first place.
