Knee pain comes in a variety of flavors. Athletes get knee pain from repetitive stress, injury and overuse. Seniors get knee pain from the natural process of joint degeneration (arthritis). The rest of us get knee pain from life itself, as there are hundreds of creative ways to trigger knee pain just living our daily lives. Today’s blog post describes how acupuncture heals knee pain naturally.
Acupuncture Heals Knee Pain
Knee are two of the most used and abused joints in the body. Every time we stand up, walk to the refrigerator or take the dog for a walk, we’re using our knees. And it’s very easy to throw this joint out of balance. But whether you’re an athlete, a senior, or someone in between, acupuncture is effective for treating knee pain.
How Acupuncture Works
Pain in the body is often caused by blocked channels. Channels are like roads, travelling through the body. Qi (pronounced Chi) flows through these channels. You can think of it as energy flowing through power lines, or cars racing down the highway.
Now imagine there’s an accident on the highway and traffic gets backed up causing congestion. Our body has accidents all the time that cause congestion in a channels. We call that congestion “stagnation”. And a common place to get “qi stagnation” is in the knees.
So knee pain is simply qi stagnation, or stuck qi in the channels. Acupuncture resolves stagnation just like the police clear car accidents and restore the normal flow of traffic. Acupuncture loves resolving stagnation, especially in the joints. There are acupuncture points around joints that work wonders for clearing up congestion, getting the qi to flow again. And once the qi is flowing, the pain is gone.
Not Just A Temporary Fix
Acupuncture heals pain naturally AND long term. Unlike pain medications, which only help for a short time, acupuncture gets the channels open and keeps them open. The Qi energy in our bodies want to flow freely through the body, just like water wants to flow down a river. Given the chance, qi will keep on flowing.
An injury is like a beaver dam blocking a river. Acupuncture gently removes the dam (without hurting the beavers!), allowing Qi to flow again. It will flow until the next group of beavers decide to build another dam. In our case, Qi will flow until the next time we get injured.

What our Clients are Saying
My knees were so bad with arthritis that I couldn’t play golf. My wife did research on the internet and said acupuncture might help. I went in not expecting much. He told me it would take three to six treatments to see if it would work. My case was tougher because I’m overweight. Sure enough, after five treatments the pain started easing. I needed twelve treatments total, but my knees improved so much I’m playing golf again. I go in for what he calls tune-ups every month, but I don’t mind. The acupuncture keeps my knees not hurting. I’ve recommended it to my golf buddies and they’ve had success as well.
Raleigh Acupuncture was recommended by a friend after I mentioned my insomnia and dependency on a sleeping pill. My apprehension was short lived because of the results of my visits to Dr. Mark. With acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs I was able to begin sleeping well and continue to do so. Dr. Mark is a good listener and encourages his patients in all health issues as well as the original purpose for treatment. Consequently, my knees are stronger and I’m walking better and with more confidence. I haven’t had the need for a cortisone shot in a year and a half. Occasionally, I would use a cane and it’s now somewhere gathering dust. Also, I had a persistent headache that my primary physician had no solution for, and after two acupuncture treatments it’s a thing of the past. Hot flashes were another issue that was treated successfully. I am so grateful to have found a knowledgeable and caring person to treat my ailments, many of which I thought would only grow worse as I aged. Generally, I feel healthier.
I love to play golf, that’s my passion. But I’m overweight and my knees hurt so bad I couldn’t even walk the course. My wife told me to try acupuncture. These guys were straight with me, said to try six treatments to see if my knees would respond. I’ll tell you, nothing happened at first. But, by the sixth treatment my knees starting feeling better. I got six more treatments after that and now I’m playing golf again. They don’t hurt so much any more. From a 10 out of 10, now they’re at a 3. I can live with that.
My knees were so bad I couldn’t walk down the stairs without holding on to the railing for dear life. I’m also deathly afraid of needles. So they used extra tiny needles on my knees and in three treatments my knee pain was gone. Incredible! I highly recommend Raleigh Acupuncture for anyone with knee pain.
This was my first time trying out acupuncture. I had a great experience and was made to feel very comfortable with the whole process. The treatment I received on my knee definitely helped with my tendinitis. I would recommend Raleigh Acupuncture to anyone.
