As an acupuncturist I cannot help but comment. We offer great alternatives for this sort of health issues, the acupuncture can be viewed as increasing blood flow to an affected joint or spinal disc, increase blood equals more oxygen and nutrients. I encourage you to try your local acupuncturist if you need an alternative treatment
