Living with knee osteoarthritis can make every step painful. At Bend Medical Acupuncture, we offer electrical acupuncture treatments that can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and in many cases postpone the need for knee replacement surgery. Many of our patients find they can stay active longer, enjoy more comfortable daily movement, and maintain a better quality of life with regular acupuncture sessions.
How Acupuncture Helps Knee Osteoarthritis
Electrical acupuncture stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports the body’s natural healing response.
Patients often report:
-
Less pain and stiffness
-
Greater range of motion
-
Easier walking and daily activity
Acupuncture After Total Knee Replacement
Acupuncture is also valuable after total knee surgery. Regular treatments can:
-
Reduce post-operative pain and swelling
-
Lower the need for narcotic pain medications
-
Improve range of motion
-
Help make physical therapy sessions more productive
By reducing discomfort and swelling, acupuncture can speed recovery and help patients regain mobility more quickly.
