Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a very effective way to alleviate knee pain. When a thin sterile single use needle is inserted into a specific point it triggers the release of endorphins which is the body’s natural painkiller. This helps in reducing knee pain and to promote relaxation. Acupuncture reduces inflammation. Acupuncture also improves blood circulation which assists in delivering essential nutrients and oxygen need for healing and therefore reducing knee pain.
