Common Types of Arthritis We Treat
Osteoarthritis
This degenerative condition is caused by joint wear and tear over time. It leads to cartilage breakdown, bone friction, and pain, especially in the knees, hips, shoulders, and fingers. Most commonly seen in older adults, it is often accompanied by stiffness and joint tenderness.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
RA is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints. This causes chronic inflammation and joint erosion, often affecting hands, wrists, knees, and ankles.
Other Inflammatory Joint Conditions
We also work with clients experiencing joint pain due to:
- Gout
- Lupus
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Post-injury joint inflammation
Why Choose Acupuncture for Arthritis?
Conventional treatments like painkillers and anti-inflammatories may provide short-term relief, but they do not resolve the underlying imbalance and often come with unwanted side effects. In contrast, acupuncture works by:
- Reducing inflammation and swelling in affected joints
- Increasing local circulation to promote healing
- Stimulating the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers
- Restoring energetic flow (Qi) to areas of blockage or stagnation
Clinical studies and patient outcomes consistently support acupuncture as a safe and practical approach to arthritis relief.
