Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese therapeutic technique. It is done by introducing wire thin needles into specific point of the body. It has now become very famous in Europe and Asia too. Acupuncture uses very fine needles to excite specific points located on the body, in order to affect the Qi of the body.
Stimulating acupuncture points results in both the local area being needled and other, remote areas of the body to be stimulated. Acupuncture and moxibustion can be exercised as precludive medicine, as treatment for acute injuries and illnesses, and for treatment or palliation of chronic illness or pain.
Acupuncture works by balancing the body's positive and negative forces (yang and yin), that become unbalanced due to diseases and pain.

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around joints. There are more than 100 various types of arthritis, and each type is featurised by joint and musculoskeletal pain, often the result of inflammation of the joint lining. Arthritis strikes hundreds of millions of people across the globe. Acupuncture palliates pain and improves movement for patients suffering from it, whether it is arthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, hand or back.
