Wondering what ‘squeaks’ more? Your knees or the stairs?
Knee Osteo Arthritis (KOA) is a painful ailment that can strike down the best of us. Whether from sporting injuries or trauma, an autoimmune condition, genetic make-up or simply an aging process catching up on your past activities; it can be difficult to manage.
KOA is more common in adults over 45 years, where the progressive loss of articular cartilage leads to bone rubbing on bone (the ‘squeak’) creating inflammation and pain.
While strengthening exercises and less weight bearing can assist with management of KOA, there is significant evidence emerging that acupuncture and electro acupuncture can help to reduce the inflammation and pain caused by this condition, perhaps delaying the need for surgical intervention. In general, because of its good analgesic effects and little or no side effects, acupuncture has been widely accepted all over the world for acute and chronic painful conditions such as OA.
Research has shown that acupuncture uses several mechanisms within the body to achieve relief from pain and inflammation, both in the periphery (such as immune cells and neurons, purinergic pathway, nociceptive ion channel, cannabinoid receptor and endogenous opioid peptide system) and the central nervous system (TPRV1, glutamate and its receptors, glial cells, GABAergic interneurons and signalling molecules). https://doi.org/10.1177/17448069231202882
Or simply stated acupuncture may help to get you back up those stairs!
While studies show some clear benefits of acupuncture for KOA, there is still a need for more high-quality, comprehensive research to fully verify its effectiveness and optimal use.
