Acupuncture
Acupuncture for osteoarthritis pain
An option in some pain pathways — Kyla Phillips on needles beside walking, physio and your GP.
Symptoms and what they can mean
A knee or hip that has a weather report. Pain that limits the high street. This is not a failure of character.
What we can do in clinic
NICE has included acupuncture in some chronic primary pain contexts. Osteoarthritis care is still movement and, if needed, medicines or surgery. I can be a strand.
Red flags and when to see your GP
A hot swollen joint, or a sudden inability to walk — medical. Do not use me as a delay.
