Yes! Acupuncture can be used to help relieve joint pain. It’s a traditional Chinese medicine technique where thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. This stimulation can:

– Increase blood flow to the affected joint
– Promote the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals (like endorphins)
– Reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility
– Help manage chronic pain conditions such as arthritis
– Common joints treated with acupuncture include knees, shoulders, hips, wrists, and elbows.

It’s generally safe when performed by a licensed, trained acupuncturist, but you should consult your doctor first, especially if you have bleeding disorders, are on blood-thinning medications, or have a pacemaker.

When you visit our clinic in Jersey City, NJ, our doctors will review with you your medical history and go over what areas you are concerned about. We’ll be able to determine if acupuncture treatments are right for you. After the initial one-on-one consultation, we’ll set up appointments for your future visits.

During an acupuncture therapy session, you will lie on one of our tables in your private room. You will remove the clothes from the area that is to be treated. Our therapist will then place needles into the skin to begin your treatment and then leave you to rest quietly for 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on what is being treated, future sessions usually take less amount of time. It may take a few sessions for you to start to notice a difference, although many patients see an improvement after their first visit.
