Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation within the joints, and as a result, some muscle wasting. The main type of arthritis we see is osteoarthritis
What treatments we typically prescribe?
When cartilage has been worn away, it can be difficult to improve these conditions as cartilage does not repair easily, however, we can help reduce the pain and prevent it from getting worse. We use herbal medicine alongside acupuncture or electric-acupuncture to treat the symptoms of arthritis
