Osteoarthritis Knee Acupuncture – Relieve Knee Pain with Acupuncture

You do not really appreciate your knees, until something goes wrong and they are painful. Going up and down the stairs becomes a problems, you can’t play all the fun sports you used to play, and keeping up with your kids if you have them becomes a lot harder and frustrating. I have treated knee pain since 2008. Treatment aims to reduce pain and improve movement.

What do I do to treat knee Pain?
Acupuncture is usually the first treatment I use for knee pain. I also use cupping to treat knee pain if necessary. Cupping involves placing glass cups on the affected area. I also use other forms of massage such as tuina to help move the energy. A treatment plan is devised based on the nature of the pain.

**How long does treatment take?
**Treatment length depends on the reason there is knee pain and how acute or chronic the condition is. Generally, the more acute or recent, the less treatments are required. Treatments are spaced out at two to three treatments per week for the first two to three weeks and then a re-assessment.

**Reasons for Knee Pain
**There are many reasons why someone may have knee pain. Osteoarthritis of the knee, rheumatoid arthritis, an injury or trauma/accident, car accident, sleeping injury, edema, inflammation etc. Your treatment plan depends on the cause, and it is worth having your knee assessed by your doctor too. How people respond varies.
