Arthritis is an inflammation of the bones and it can happen anywhere within the human body. Acupuncture increases blood flow and reduces inflammation so it can provide pain relief and stop any further degradation of an arthritic joint.

Acupuncture is excellent for pain and/or stress/anxiety. I have helped patients with neck pain and flexibility whether or not it was due to arthritis. Acupuncture cannot reverse the arthritis, but can improve the quality of life through pain relief and flexibility. Depending on how severe the arthritis is, check with your primary to see if you’re a viable candidate for alternative treatment.

Live Happy,
Michael

I’d same similarly for any type of arthritis — they are all under similar diagnoses in Chinese Medicine. Treated similarly. Main thing is consistency and persistence in long-term care with chronic conditions such as these. Sometimes, Miracle Worker Doctors, as been called by former Medical Director of US Healthworks, are able to achieve quicker results. Vessels of The Healer of the World. Chinese herbs also assist prognosis.

Assuming the medical provider completed a full intake interview with you and made an appropriate diagnosis, you have with the first visit begun the therapy to bring your body into balance, and thereby beginning to shift your depression symptoms. Acupuncture is a therapy and one visit is just the start, so I would speak with your provider to talk about the plan of how many months it will take to resolve so you have a realistic view of how long it takes to reverse conditions that you may have had for many years or months. Traditional (Chinese) medicine thrives when the diagnosis system is used appropriately and patients understand that herbal medicine is also an important component of resolving chronic issues. Some patients expect miracles in a few treatments, and while that can be possible by very experienced practitioners in a small number of cases, many patients need an overall plan to bring their body back into harmony and balance.

Yes, acupuncture is effective in treating pain due to arthritis. Acupuncture therapy sets off a cascade of events, producing a signal that travels along the spinal cord to the brain, triggering a release of neurotransmitters called endorphins and enkephalins, which scientists believe reduce the sensation of pain. Furthermore, research also shows that acupuncture induces the production of cortisol, a hormone that helps control inflammation. In addition, acupuncture may stimulate activity of other pain-relieving chemicals in the body as well.

Assuming that there’s no major orthopedic issues and we are working along your Doctor.

Acupuncture has proven to be a good therapy for arthritis. It helps to reduce inflammation in the joints, and relaxes the adjacent muscles. But first, an acupuncturist will determine cause from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Then the treatment will be designed to treat your particular needs.

Acupuncture works really well to relieve pain from arthritis in the neck. You may need several treatments to get your pain under control and then 1-2 times a month after that should keep you pain free.

Assuming you are talking about osteoarthritis as opposed to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), yes, in my experience. RA is a bit trickier and would require a lot of treatments in my experience.
