Introduction

Arthritis is a common condition that can affect the joints of the body. It does cause pain and it also can make your joints feel stiff and painful. There are many different types of arthritis but they all have similar symptoms. The most common type is osteoarthritis, which causes pain in your knees and hips as well as other areas where there are cartilage buildups around bones. Acupuncture and moxibustion were used to treat joint pain because they were believed to help improve circulation and reduce swelling within the affected area so that healing could take place more efficiently while reducing discomfort during movement or exercise

Knee pains

The knee is a common area for arthritis to develop. It’s made up of three bones: the femur, tibia and patella (or kneecap). The knee joint is a hinge joint, which means it only allows flexion and extension.

The cartilage in your knees cushions them from impact when you walk or run; this helps prevent injuries like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. However, if you have osteoarthritis at some point after middle age then there’s an increased risk that you will develop pain in your knee joints as well as stiffness and swelling around them – especially if they are affected by obesity or sedentary lifestyles

Joint pains

Joint pain is a common symptom of arthritis. Joint pains can be caused by a number of reasons, including:

• Inflammation. The body produces inflammatory chemicals called cytokines that cause swelling and irritation in affected joints. Cytokines also contribute to osteoarthritis (OA), which is characterized by degeneration of cartilage between bones in the hands or feet and other joints such as knees or hips. OA may affect both men and women at any age but usually appears after age 45 years; it’s more likely if you have had previous surgeries or injuries that damaged your muscles or ligaments around your joint(s).
• Arthritis: Arthritic symptoms develop when cartilage breaks down over time due to wear-and-tear from normal activities like walking, lifting weights, gardening etc., along with certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) etc., which cause inflammation throughout the body causing pain where bones meet each other at points called “joints” – even if these areas aren’t visibly damaged yet!

Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. It can be caused by injury, infection or age.

Arthritis can be treated with medication (both topical and oral), physical therapy and surgery.

Acupuncture and Moxibustion can help a lot with the condition

Acupuncture and moxibustion can help a lot with the condition. The treatment is safe and effective, which means you won’t have to worry about any side effects or risks associated with it. It’s also not expensive!

Acupuncture needles are inserted into certain points on your body where they release serotonin, which relaxes muscles and makes them feel better. Moxibustion uses heat placed on your skin to release endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers). Both treatments work in much the same way; they increase blood flow to those areas so that they heal faster while also relieving any other symptoms you might be having like stiffness or joint pain.
