It’s thought that acupuncture can help address arthritic symptoms by releasing endorphins to tackle pain, reducing inflammation, improving circulation to reduce swelling and relax the muscles, and helping any pain and stiffness you may be experiencing.
In Traditional Chinese medicine, Acupuncture works by regulating Qi and Blood, improving meridian circulation, reducing Bi Syndrome (blockages that cause pain) and supporting the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
Depending on the severity of your condition, you may need to go for acupuncture sessions once or twice a week for up to six weeks. This can then be reduced gradually as your symptoms improve. If you’re in acute pain or your symptoms return or worsen, you can always increase the frequency of your sessions.
