Any type of knee injury, from bruises to sprains, strains and bruising, and even fractures, can be partially or completely treated with acupuncture and plant derived medicines. We have seen very good results with professional athletes, martial artists, performers, animal trainers and horsewomen.

Pain in the knee may actually result from problems in the back or hip or foot, so evaluation may be necessary to determine if your problem originates from somewhere else, and you are suffering from referred pain. Knee pain which occurs only at certain times of day, or is worse at night, may also indicate an imbalance which requires more extensive treatment than addressing the knee pain alone.
