Pain Management » Arthritis

The simplest of tasks or activities can become near impossibilities when you're living with arthritis as more than 40 million Americans do. The causes of inflamed joints are numerous depending on the type of arthritis you have, of which there are more than 100 forms. However, the symptoms are the same:

• Pain
• Stiff joints
• Limited joint function
• Swelling
• Redness
• Warmth

Though medications are often prescribed for the pain, Chinese practitioners discovered long ago that acupuncture is an effective pain management alternative.
