Acupuncture with massage, and sometimes herbs, can help relieve or treat your swollen knees. I suggest you try it.

For sure.
Yes
I would certainly try it. Not all causes of swollen knees can be affected by acupuncture, but most can.
Acupuncture can help reduce pain and swelling in the knees. If the pain and swelling are due to arthritis, acupuncture will help to reduce inflammation and consequently it will help reducing the other symptoms. If the swelling is due to a meniscus tear, acupuncture might be enough to treat the condition and stabilize the joint. Some medical studies have indicated that alternative measures are sometimes more beneficial than a surgical procedure. Each patient is different so there is a need to carefully evaluate and treat with the most conservative therapies first.

Yes absolutely. It should help very quickly with swollen knees.
Acupuncture can indeed help with swollen knees by calming down the inflammation and reducing the swelling/fluid. If arthritis is a major complication and you are a daring individual, you may be able to find someone who will use bee venom to possibly provide a longer relief. In any case, please check with your primary to see if acupuncture would be a healthy alternative treatment.

Absolutely, swollen everything I’ve seen Acupuncture help. Acupuncture naturally detoxifies you as it lowers the Inflammatory response. Inflammation causes 99% of diseases. A good example of this is a recent study, examining all research on acupuncture as the main tool for such inflammatory diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, which increases joint swelling:
“3.9. Clinical Efficacy
Almost every investigation found that any kind of acupuncture as the main treatment or adjuvant treatment tool could benefit clinical conditions of RA (rheumatoid arthritis) in human or animal subjects... there were no adverse affects of acupuncture reported.”

I treated a post-operative geriatric patient with swelling and lack of mobility and it responded in 2 treatments (complaint was couldn't climb stairs without pain). Nothing works 100% of the time, but I would try it if I were you.
Yes.
Yes, it does.
I personally have seen it work for someone so wonderfully that they were able to go back to work. It's difficult to predict how everyone's body will respond to acupuncture, but yes it can help.:)
Yes. Acupuncture can be very effective in treating swelling throughout the body.
Yes, acupuncture reduces inflammation, fluid retention, etc.
A lot is going to depend on why your knees are swollen. Generally, yes, acupuncture can be a good treatment option for this kind of issue. That being said, a good place to start is with your primary care physician to have some imaging done and rule out any, more serious, issues.
If your doctor can't come up with a reason why the fluid is present or they rule out more serious problems, then acupuncture can probably help.
I do a lot of work with this type of issue and get excellent results with a technique called moxibustion. There are a variety of moxibustion techniques, but they all involve the burning of an herb (Artemesia vulgaris) with the application of heat to the swollen area.
For the best results, please make sure you're seeing a provider who is board certified and state licensed. At a minimum they should have an L.Ac. or R.Ac. credential. If you're outside CA, you can use the "Find a Practitioner" link at NCCAOM.org to get a list of local providers.
