Results indicate that the use of acupuncture can be an effective treatment for arthritis as a natural remedy because it is ideal for those wishing to use natural methods without traditional medications and chemicals. It has become a worldwide treatment that has spread far past just China.

So How does it Work? 

During the treatment, tiny needles are placed along the specific area on the patient’s body that requires treatment and healing. These needles are so tiny that multiple acupuncture needles can fit inside a human hair. The needles stay on the area for a certain amount of time allotted by the practitioner, and then removed. Most people relax and even fall asleep during the treatment. The length, amount and frequency of treatments will vary depending on the patient’s pain tolerance, severity of illness/condition and a multitude of other factors.
