ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR ARTHRITIS

WHAT IS ARTHRITIS?

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.

Uric acid crystals, which form when there's too much uric acid in your blood, can cause gout. Infections or underlying disease, such as psoriasis or lupus, can cause other types of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Studies have shown some evidence that acupuncture can help patients with chronic pain, and also may relieve back pain disability. It has also been found to be helpful in treating low back pain, and pain from other conditions, such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and headaches.

The most common signs and symptoms of arthritis involve the joints. Depending on the type of arthritis, signs and symptoms may include:

PAIN

STIFFNESS

SWELLING

REDNESS

DECREASED RANGE OF MOTION

Traditional Chinese medicine holds that acupuncture works by balancing your body’s flow of energy. Many experts in Western medicine say that the procedure stimulates your nerves, tissues, and muscles.

Acupuncture is a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It has been investigated as a potential treatment for osteoarthritis (OA), a condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in the joints and ligaments of the spine.

REACTIVE ARTHRITIS

Reactive arthritis is joint pain and swelling triggered by an infection in another part of the body — most often the intestines, genitals or urinary tract.

GOUT

Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack.

Also known as basal joint arthritis, is a type of osteoarthritis that occurs when the cartilage in the thumb joint wears away.

Acupuncture treatment for arthritis is the use of needles to target points in the body called acupoints in order to restore the flow of the body’s qi or body energy. A disruption in qi can cause the body to experience diseases or issues.

By targeting these acupoints, your acupuncturist can open meridians pathways, pathways where qi flows, and restore the balance of qi. As a result of this process, it stimulates the body’s natural healing, reduces pain, promotes relaxation, and helps treat conditions of arthritis.
