May is National Arthritis Month. If you suffer from arthritis, acupuncture can help!

Osteoarthritis (OA), or degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 27 million Americans*. OA is a chronic condition which causes the breakdown of cartilage in joints leading to joint pain and stiffness. OA typically affects the hips, hands, knees, low back and neck.

The symptoms of OA all revolve around inflammation of the joint capsule. Acupuncture can help with the symptoms of OA by reducing the amount of inflammation within the joint, and increasing the range of motion. Acupuncture is a gentle treatment method, and can be ideal for those wanting to avoid medications, or for those who medication wasn’t effective.
