Knee Pain Acupuncture Treatment
Knee pain is a prevalent health issue in most adults, but It can affect anyone at any age. The severity of pain ranges and it may have many causes; from acute injuries to medical conditions. Knee pain can be felt on one particular spot of the knee or diffuse throughout the whole joint depending on the injury. Knee pain can compromise the femur, tibia, fibula, kneecap, patella, ligaments and cartilage of the knee.

Knee pain acupuncture treatment may help eliminate any obstructions, facilitate circulation, and correct imbalances in the affected area. By using acupuncture needles in strategic points, our acupuncturists will remove any obstructions that may be causing the pain or that could lead to other effects of injury such as swelling. Acupuncture will also allow for muscle relaxation and better blood circulation. Depending on the condition and severity of the injury, complementary therapies may be suggested such as exercise therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care.
