Study Shows Effectiveness of Electro-Acupuncture for Knee Arthritis

It's wonderful to see modern research catching up with what acupuncturists have known for a long time.... Acupuncture is an effective treatment for managing knee pain.

Check out this article for more info on the study - Reuters

How much acupuncture can help for knee pain depends on how much damage has been done. We see people who are just in the beginning stages of arthritis who can often have complete pain relief, and we also see people who are in need of knee replacement surgery and we work with them to help manage their pain and have more comfort until they are ready to schedule the surgery. In any case acupuncture has been shown to be effective in yet another condition!
