Knee Osteoarthritis: Enhancing Pain Relief & Mobility through Acupuncture
Synerqi offers a viable treatment option for knee osteoarthritis (OA) with traditional acupuncture. These methods have been studied extensively and have been shown to provide significant pain relief and improved function for patients with Knee OA.
Research
A systematic review and meta-analysis found that acupuncture can effectively reduce pain and improve physical function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The review included 12 trials with a total of 1,763 participants, demonstrating that acupuncture led to significant improvements in pain intensity and physical function compared to control treatments.1
Additionally, a study assessing the combined effect of acupuncture and active exercise training on knee osteoarthritis reported positive outcomes. This combination was found to be more effective in improving pain and functional mobility.2
