Acupuncture for Arthritic Conditions
TLC Acupuncture Brisbane provides treatments designed to relieve pain and tension associated with arthritis.
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis is a painful inflammatory joint condition which can affect any joint in the human body. It may be felt as a minor pain but has the ability to advance to a completely debilitating level.
Research on Acupuncture for Arthritis
Research in the field is ongoing and recommended that it continue to be ongoing for definitive results. So far the research has found acupuncture is a beneficial treatment for reducing the inflammation, pain and stiffness, associated with these conditions (1).
Another recent study found acupuncture alone or combined with other treatment modalities is beneficial to the clinical conditions of Rheumatoid arthritis without adverse effects reported, can improve function and quality of life and is worth trying. (2)
