Knee Pain- Can acupuncture help?

Hi Dr. Michael here!

Are you having difficulties walking due to knee pain? Knee pain can come from several causes – not just age or accidents, but also bodily issues such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and postsurgical inflammation can be contributing factors. The real question here is, can acupuncture help me with these issues. The answer is yes. 

Acupuncture has been shown to help the healing process after surgery and help relieve pain from accidents. Now, how does it do that? Acupuncture can help reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to promote healing and reduce stiffness and pain associated with the inflammation. Acupuncture also helps trigger the release of endorphins which are the body’s natural painkillers, giving you relief. If you don’t like taking over the counter medications (and who really does), acupuncture can be a great way to reduce dependency on pain medications and their potential side effects.

In our practice, we focus on treating not just symptoms, but addressing the root cause of your knee pain. Call us at the Acupuncture & Holistic Health Center at (904) 296-9545 to schedule your acupuncture treatment to help get your knee relief!
