“This study revealed that both acupuncture and physiotherapy improved the clinical symptoms of pain, morning stiffness and joint dysfunction. However, acupuncture treatment showed better curative effect than physiotherapy, suggesting that acupuncture may be a superior non-operative treatment for KOA [knee osteoarthritis] compared with physiotherapy.”

Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis where the bone, cartilage and synovium wear down, leading to pain and stiffness. Synovium lines the joints and produces synovial fluid that lubricates the joins as well as supplies them with nutrients and oxygen. A 2016 study from the American Journal of Translational Research compared the effectiveness of acupuncture and physiotherapy for treating knee osteoarthritis. When looking at motor scores, pain, stiffness and physical function, those patients who received acupuncture had significantly improved scores compared to patients who received physiotherapy.

Acupuncture works for many kinds of arthritis, including:

We access your body’s natural ability to overcome arthritis symptoms

Acupuncture stimulates the release of neurotransmitters and other chemicals that activate the body’s internal regulating system. Certain points stimulate the pituitary gland to release cortisol, a hormone known to reduce inflammation. In general, acupuncture brings the body into better biochemical balance, which promotes physical well-being and supports the body’s natural ability to overcome arthritis symptoms.
