It is based on the theory that our body has its own ability to promote\u00a0 healing through balancing an energy in our body called \u201cqi\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The acupuncture process involves the placement of very thin needles into acupuncture points along energy pathways (called meridians) that run throughout the body. This process restores the flow of qi to allow healing and to improve health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does Acupuncture Provide Arthritis Relief?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The root of arthritis is inflammation. Arthro = joint\u00a0 and itis = inflammation. Joint pain and swelling are among the most common symptoms of arthritis. Inflammation can occur in many parts of our body. It is well known that \u00a0Acupuncture helps to reduce inflammation.\u00a0 According to the Health Medicine Institute, Acupuncture successfully down regulates a pro inflammatory biochemical which results in anti-inflammatory responses and acupuncture signaling stimulates anti-inflammatory effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I Try Acupuncture for Arthritis?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of our skilled acupuncturists can help. Most professionals recommend starting with bi weekly treatments for the first couple weeks, until patients begin to experience benefits. Once there is an improvement, you can decrease visit frequency.<\/p>\n<p>Acupuncture is often chosen by patients who have tried other conventional methods without success. You do not need to wait until you exhaust other avenues. If you are experiencing new pain or symptoms, or have had chronic pain, consider visiting an acupuncturist to help relieve your symptoms. Many patients have reported arthritis relief. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acupunctureinmichigan.com\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a> Michigan Associates of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan for an appointment today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julie Silver, MSW, L.Ac.
