Joint stiffness is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic disease that affects people in the world. Resulting from an abnormal response of the immune system, rheumatoid arthritis inflames the soft tissue that lines the surface of joints (called the synovium). It is a systemic disease that not only makes joints stiff and painful, but can also affect other parts of your body, such as internal organs.

Acupuncture stops the inflammatory process and not just the pain. Moxibustion, which is the burning of the herb Artemisia at acupuncture points (and lifted again before it burns the skin,) is also used. One can expect a reduction in the swelling around the joints, as long as these are not longstanding, the pain to subside and the joints to become freely mobile again.
