While acupuncture is not a viable solution for all knee pain, it is a great solution for osteoarthritis of the knee. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that works by inserting very fine needles into strategic areas of your body to stimulate your nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. This stimulation increases blood flow and triggers your body’s natural painkillers, like endorphins and enkephalins, and relieves tension and discomfort in the affected area. Acupuncture also produces cortisol, which is a hormone that helps control inflammation. Although needles are inserted in areas of your body that are experiencing pain, the needles are very thin and cause minimal discomfort.
