Arthritis can be a debilitating disease for many people and is the nation’s leading cause of disability according to the CDC. Unfortunately, as we age, we are more susceptible to arthritis pain because our joints naturally degenerate over time. Fortunately, natural medicines can effectively treat the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia and gout. A significant number of people have found great relief without negative side effects.

After the patient’s initial consultation, Dr. Klearman will develop a natural pain relief program based on the patient’s symptoms and current lifestyle, which can include not only acupuncture treatments but also herbal remedies, an exercise program for and a nutritional program; diet plays a crucial role in helping you avoid or control pain. See Dr. Klearman’s article on arthritis and pain relief.

The acupuncture points for arthritis are located all over the body and not just surrounding the affected area. In some cases, positive results occur after just one acupuncture treatment, however, in more chronic cases, Dr. Klearman will recommend multiple acupuncture treatments. The length of these treatments will be determined after the patient consultation. To schedule your consultation today, please contact Dr. Klearman.
