Susan Harrison, 67, who was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2022, found herself increasingly limited by joint pain, leading her to believe hip and knee replacement surgeries were imminent. However, a drug-free therapy helped her manage her condition, allowing her to reduce her reliance on painkillers and avoid surgical intervention.
Harrison now reports being able to navigate stairs with ease, enjoys daily walks, and rarely requires pain medication. She attributes her recovery to acupuncture.
Studies have indicated that patients receiving electro-acupuncture experienced significant improvements in pain and stiffness scores compared to those who received a sham therapy. This suggests a potential benefit of acupuncture for managing arthritis symptoms.
