Can Acupuncture Help Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in the joints. It can also affect other parts of the body, such as the skin, eyes, and lungs. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but there are treatments that can help to manage the symptoms.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It is thought to work by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including pain, nausea, and anxiety.

There is some evidence that acupuncture may also be helpful for rheumatoid arthritis. A small study published in the journal Rheumatology found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Another study, published in the journal Pain, found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

If you are considering acupuncture for rheumatoid arthritis, it is important to talk to your doctor first. Acupuncture is not a cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but it may be a helpful way to manage the symptoms.

How Does Acupuncture Work for Rheumatoid Arthritis?

The exact way that acupuncture works for rheumatoid arthritis is not fully understood. However, it is thought to work by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Acupuncture points are located on meridians, which are channels that carry qi, or energy, throughout the body. When needles are inserted into these points, they are thought to help to balance the flow of qi and restore the body’s natural balance.

Is Acupuncture Safe for Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Acupuncture is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. However, there are some potential risks associated with acupuncture, such as bruising, bleeding, and infection. It is important to see a qualified acupuncturist who is experienced in treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Acupuncture for Shingles: Can It Help?

Shingles, also known as Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. The rash usually appears on one side of the body, but it can also appear on the face or neck. Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus stays dormant in your body. It can reactivate years later and cause shingles.

There is no cure for shingles, but there are treatments that can help relieve the symptoms. Acupuncture is one treatment that has been shown to be effective in relieving the pain and discomfort of shingles.

 

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are called acupuncture points. When needles are inserted into these points, it is shown that they can help to eliminate pain. 

There is some evidence that acupuncture can be effective in treating shingles. A 2018 study found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with shingles. The study also found that acupuncture was well-tolerated and did not have any serious side effects.

Another study, published in 2019, found that acupuncture combined with conventional shingles treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in reducing pain and improving function. The evidence suggests that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for shingles.

Acupuncture for Rheumatoid Arthritis: How Can It Help?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints. It can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. There is no cure for RA, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including RA. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to be connected to the body’s energy pathways, or meridians. When needles are inserted into these points, it is believed that they can help to balance the body’s energy and reduce inflammation.

 

There is some evidence that acupuncture can be effective in treating RA. A 2018 systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that acupuncture was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with RA. The review also found that acupuncture was well-tolerated and did not have any serious side effects.

Another study, published in 2019, found that acupuncture combined with conventional RA treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in reducing pain and improving function.

 

The evidence suggests that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for RA. If you are considering acupuncture for RA, it is important to talk to your doctor first. They can help you decide if acupuncture is right for you and can recommend a qualified acupuncturist.

Ozone is also known as “Activated Oxygen” or O3. Instead of using well-known oxygen aka O2, ozone fully oxygenates any cell or tissue it comes in contact with. Ozone also kills viruses, bacteria, mold, fungus it comes in contact with. Clinically, we use ozone to fully oxygenate cells in conditions that are caused by perceived natural physical decline associated with aging, like Arthritis or Neuropathy. We also see many benefits to using ozone with autoimmune conditions, like Fibromyalgia, Epstein Barr Virus, and Long Haul Covid.
