Can acupuncture help chronic knee pain? In many cases, yes!

According to traditional Chinese medicine principles, pain arises when there is an imbalance or blockage in the body’s energy flow, known as qi (pronounced “chee”). A lot of people think that chronic pain is just something they have to “get used to.” Especially if the pain has been going on a decade or more, they start to assume it’s part of their life now. Acupuncture can be incredibly helpful in reducing daily knee pain as well as flare-ups.

If you have knee pain that:

✔️ Changes with the weather, such as worse with cold and/or rain

✔️ Gets worse with overuse, like long walks or standing for long periods at work

✔️ Prevents you from climbing stairs comfortably or kneeling in your garden

✔️ Is from an old injury that never really went away…

Then I recommend trying acupuncture!

With chronic pain, maintenance treatments are incredibly helpful to prevent flare ups. After an initial round of treatments, once a month is a great treatment plan to keep you feeling good.
