Acupuncture is a very popular way now to treat and diagnose arthritis. However, it is important to note that acupuncture therapy is used to treat arthritis and not diagnosing it. All around the Asian continent, acupuncture has been used for many years to relieve the symptoms of chronic pain, like arthritis.
In 2001 the University of Maryland School of Medicine put acupuncture to the test. They studied 570 osteoarthritis patients, age 50, who had never had acupuncture, surgery, or steroid injections before. This controlled group got regular sessions of acupuncture. At the end of the first week, the acupuncture group all said they all experienced a surge in mobility. By the end of the study, the participants said they had a 40 percent decrease in pain and another 40 percent increase functions on the knees.
