Acupuncture is probably best known and most commonly used for treating musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, tennis elbow, neck and shoulder pain, Achilles tendonitis and arthritis of the knee and other joints.

 

Other pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and post-shingles pain can also respond very well.

​

A Cochrane review* found acupuncture to be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis. I am able to use electroacupuncture (a tiny electrical current running between the needles) to strengthen the pain relieving effects.
