Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis With Acupuncture

According to a study published in the journal Clinical Rheumatology, acupuncture may be as effective as medication in treating rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Patients’ symptoms were rated based on joint tenderness, swollen joints, morning stiffness, and quality of life.

While this was a small study and there was no control group, it could be a good starting point for further research.

Although it was not mentioned in the study, Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.  Contact us for more information.
