Diseases of the joints are one of the causes of disability in the population. If patients delaying treatment, most of them in the end, faced with limitations in movement, and a quarter - are deprived of the possibility to carry out usual daily activities.

Research in the field of methods of getting rid of joint pain involved employees of the University of Manchester. After reviewing the early works of their colleagues, they came to the conclusion that the most effective way to overcome the disease is acupuncture. This approach to the treatment they checked in for six weeks and only affirmed the correctness of the result obtained previously.

"This method should be used in large quantities, since its effectiveness will preserve health and ensure a full life for people in this category, - noted the authors of the scientific article published in the edition of Translational Medicine. - And should be used acupuncture points within the known corresponding meridians, rather than outside, which is less effective. "
 
In long-term treatment of acupuncture, the researchers observed a partial restoration of damaged joint tissue as substantially recovered physiological functions of healthy joints.

According to the scientists, their work has radically changed the tactics of doctors working with patients who suffer from diseases of the joints. After all, research has proven, not only the effectiveness of acupuncture in tissue regeneration, but also the absence of any side effects.
