Can acupuncture be used in osteoarthritis?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It can be used in osteoarthritis and it is very helpful. Other things like keeping very well hydrated are very important. (cartilage contains more than 80% water). Also people who take glucosamine and chonroitin and msm feel better too.
