If you have osteoarthritis, you’re among the 21 million Americans who suffer from this condition, which causes joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis is common in people over the age of 50, and it can significantly impact your quality of life. Arthritis is a degenerative condition, which means it gets worse over time. It can affect nearly any joint, but a common one is the knee. Knees are particularly susceptible to wear-and-tear because they take nearly 4 pounds of pressure for every pound of bodyweight you carry. There’s no cure for arthritis. Treatments include taking prescription medications to relieve pain and reduce swelling. In severe cases, joint replacement surgery can be an option. Finding an effective   arthritis treatment that relieves your pain and fits into your lifestyle isn’t always easy. If you’ve tried modern methods of arthritis treatment but you’re still suffering from knee pain, don’t give up. Visit us at Soul Potential Acupuncture and Wellness in ...
