Where do you put acupuncture needles for knee pain?
It depends, but often, your acupuncturist will place needles in the local area (in this case the knee), adjacent area (above and below the knee), and some in the distal areas (perhaps ankles, feet, or hands). This is to help with circulation and opening up the channels of energy flow throughout your body. READ MORE
