Acupuncture can help the knee pain due to over usage and even osteoarthritis that may need a replacement surgery.
Acupuncture is highly effective for both sprain, strain, contusion of the knee. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments, the fibrous bands that bind bones together at a joint. Typically, the surrounding blood vessels are also injured, resulting in bruising. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon in which the muscle fibers tear as a result of overstretching. Contusion is a bruising without breaking the skin.
Acupuncture is also effective for bone-on-bone conditions. While it does not regenerate cartilage, it significantly reduces the intensity, frequency, and duration of pain. This allows patients to stay active and perform daily tasks with greater ease. Many individuals find that acupuncture helps them manage discomfort well enough to delay surgery, allowing them to enjoy holidays and family gatherings without interruption.
