Arthritis

Your joints swell, pain, and stiffness make movement difficult, if not impossible. Before you turn to pharmaceuticals or supplements for temporary relief, Acuhealth can treat your current arthritic problems using a range of modalities.

What is this condition?

Arthritis can be an extremely debilitating and progressive disease, that may not be painful all the time. But with Acuhealth’s help, you will be able to manage the condition carefully to avoid creeping disability.

There are many forms of arthritis which can be described in two main groups: osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is often regarded as the result of wear and tear, though this view is highly debatable.

Inflammatory categories of arthritis, like Rheumatoid and Psoriatic Arthritis, can affect your body more systemically resulting in digestive problems, sight and even heart problems.

Is this service right for me?

Acuhealth will use a range of modalities to treat your current arthritic problems.

How is it treated?

Acupuncture, Low-Level Laser, joint mobilisation, and very importantly, exercise can significantly improve your pain levels and calm the flare-up.

Research shows the importance of activity and exercise for arthritis, though we will often advise rest where appropriate.
