Acupuncture helps with Osteoarthritis.

PubMed research PMCID: PMC5984198 shows low evidence of changes Hip Osteoarthritis and Knee Osteoarthritis with Acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture has long been recognized as a non-pharmacological therapy in treating various disorders by inserting fine needles into specific anatomic points (acupoints) on the skin of the patient’s body. As an important component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture has been used in clinical practice for more than 3000 years.

The WHO has recommended acupuncture therapies for 107 diseases. The effectiveness of acupuncture for different kinds of pain diseases has been verified by a great deal of high-quality clinical trials. Recently, two individual patient data meta-analyses also reported that acupuncture was effective for the treatment of chronic pain, with treatment effects persisting over time. In addition, acupuncture appears to be a safe intervention that has rare adverse effects in the hands of competent practitioners.

Acupuncture may help control inflammation associated with arthritis.

According MedicalNewsToday.
  Acupuncture may help control inflammation associated with arthritis. Some evidence suggests it may help ease arthritis symptoms and improve the quality of life for people with the condition.

   A 2018 systematic review of 43 studies concluded that acupuncture alone or in combination with other treatments is beneficial for managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and can help improve function and quality of life.

  A more recent 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effectiveness of acupuncture and acupuncture-related treatments (ACNRT) as a complementary therapy in managing RA. The study authors concluded that Western medicine with ACNRT can reduce RA disease markers and significantly improve clinical symptoms.
