Yes
We will exam 1st. Then provide dry needling 1st. Patients will find instant results in general.
Depending on patients’ medical histories and conditions, each patient will have different responses. Patients will have to follow up in 3-7days depending on severity.
Patients will be examined again on how much difference they have experienced since the initial acupuncture treatment.
Then we can give patients a plan for symptomatology.
If we find limitations in improvements, we will apply different plans as a holistic approach.

Yes.
A good acupuncture practitioner should be able to help you out with this. I would recommend combining a number of acupuncture sessions with therapeutic massage and herbs.
Acupuncture works well for swelling or pain for knee symptoms.
Yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Is it just your knees or the swelling go lower?
Yes, it is very effective for knee disorders. Cupping treatment is good for some cases it needs herbal medicine.
We have to evaluate your condition. Swollen knees can have several causes.
Yes, as well as topical plasters. You may email alchemyfuncmed@gmail.com and our clinic can send you information about our specialized topical herbal plasters to resolve your condition. And possibly a referral to a skilled provider in your area.

Acupuncture is generally very good for any joint that is swollen, painful, or stiff, especially when the patient is on the younger side of 60. Between using acupuncture, possibly with electroacupuncture and heat (in the form of moxibustion or heat lamp, etc.) and sometimes Chinese herbal formulas, many patients have very good results with numerous kinds of health conditions involving pain and immobility.
Traditional Chinese Medicine, of which acupuncture is part, is a vast science with many time-tested solutions and many varied ways to treat pain and discomfort. As acupuncture is a process and not a single event, I suggest you try a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) for 3 to 6 sessions for 2-3 weeks in succession to see if acupuncture might work for you. Hope this response answered some of the questions.

Hello,
Acupuncture can help with swollen knees. I treat a lot of knee pain and swelling is sometimes associated with it. If you are looking for an acupuncturist in your area you can check the national registery NCCAOM to find someone close to you who is certified. Also, word of mouth or google is helpful.

For swollen knees, I'd start with your primary care physician and see if you can figure out why they're swollen. There are a variety of things that could be going on in this case. Acupuncture may be an appropriate treatment for some of them, but probably not all of them.
If it turns out that you have osteoarthritis, swollen bursa, mild or minor tear to meniscus, mild or minor ligament or tendon damage, or your PCP cannot figure out what might be going on then acupuncture and associated modalities will probably offer some improvement to your situation - especially if there is pain accompanying the swelling.
More serious issues like major tears to the meniscus or knee connective tissues will likely require an orthopedic consult and, potentially, surgery. Acupuncture can still be helpful here, though. We're typically pretty good with post-surgical pain.
