May
is Arthritis Awareness Month. Are you or someone you care for one of the
estimated 27 million adults in the United States who live with osteoarthritis
(OA)—the most common type of arthritis? Here’s some good news: research
suggests that acupuncture may help to reduce pain and improve joint
mobility in people with OA. There’s also some evidence that massage and tai
chi may help to reduce pain and improve the ability to walk and move.
However, there’s no strong evidence that dietary supplements help with OA
symptoms or the underlying course of the disease. Learn more about complementary
health approaches and OA, as well as about rheumatoid arthritis, here.
