Acupuncture for arthritis although a very old technique but is recently gaining a lot of prominence. The discovery of acupuncture dates back to 2500 years. The theory of acupuncture is based on distribution of qi (energy) levels. The distribution of energy is based on many invisible points situated on meridians. Meridians are invisible channels that regulate energy levels. Needles are inserted on these points and they are manipulated either manually, electrically or with the help of machinery. The manipulation of these needles deactivates the trigger points and resolves any kind of pain. Trigger points are associated with acute pains and when these points are deactivated the pain resolves itself.

Acupuncture for arthritis creates effects that are long lasting and also give quick results. Although it may be a little painful experience in the beginning because of needle insertion and manipulation. But it is believed that acupuncture is responsible for release of stress relieving hormones and hence the initial pain dissipates in a limited amount of time and the patient starts to experience improvement in his/her condition and hence acupuncture helps with arthritis. These benefits of acupuncture are attracting more and more patients towards it.
