FAQ

Acupuncture is an established option for managing many types of chronic pain — including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and persistent joint pain. A large 2018 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Pain, pooling data from more than 20,000 patients across 39 trials, found that acupuncture reduced pain significantly compared to both no treatment and sham acupuncture — and that most of that benefit persisted at 12 months. It is not a cure, but for many people it provides meaningful, lasting relief when other approaches have fallen short.
