How it works
Stimulates local anti-inflammatory responses, releases endogenous opioids and serotonin. May reduce central sensitisation contributing to chronic pain. Mechanisms remain partially elucidated.
Best results from courses of 6â10 sessions. Evidence stronger for OA than inflammatory arthritis. Choose a registered acupuncturist â Chinese medicine practitioners are AHPRA-registered in Australia.
