Knee Pain Relief
with Navel Acupuncture
Once the specific knee pain pattern is identified, navel acupuncture can often relieve knee pain efficiently—sometimes within the same treatment session—while improving stability, mobility, and weight-bearing comfort.
Does your Knee Pain look like this?
You CAN benefit from James Navel Acupuncture if you have one or more of the following:
✓ Knee or Peri-Knee Pain, Stiffness, or Swelling
Aching, stiffness, weakness, swelling, or reduced mobility affecting the knee or surrounding area.
Often worsens with walking, bending, squatting, or prolonged standing.
✓ Post-Injury or Post-Surgical Knee Pain
Residual knee pain, stiffness, or movement limitation following injury, falls, or surgery.
Often accompanied by protective tension or compensatory movement patterns.
✓Weight-Bearing, Activity-, or Overuse-Related Knee Pain
Knee pain that appears or intensifies during walking, stair climbing, standing up, weight-bearing, or physical activity.
Symptoms may ease with rest but tend to recur with use.
Common in active individuals, athletes, or physically demanding work.
✓ Degenerative or Imaging-Related Knee Pain
Knee pain associated with degenerative changes such as cartilage wear, joint space narrowing, or imaging-reported findings.
Pain is often deep, persistent, and aggravated by activity, with limited relief from rest alone.
🌿How Does Navel Acupuncture Treat Knee Pain?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, knee pain is often related to the regulation of Qi and blood, the functional state of the internal organs, and the coordination of the meridian system, rather than a single local knee joint problem.
Navel Acupuncture works through whole-body regulation, helping rebalance Qi and blood, support organ function, and harmonize meridian pathways that influence the knee and lower limb.
Once the specific knee pain pattern and contributing factors are identified, navel acupuncture can often relieve knee pain efficiently—sometimes within the same treatment session—while improving stability, mobility, and weight-bearing comfort of the knee.
🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?
Every knee pain condition is different. Treatment is individualized.
The following are general clinical references:
Acute knee pain
Often shows clear improvement within 1–3 sessions.
Chronic or recurrent knee pain
Commonly stabilizes after 3–6 sessions.
Stubborn or complex knee pain
(Long history, multiple contributing factors)
Usually requires 1–2 courses of treatment, about 5–10 sessions.
Knee pain related to trauma or surgery
Requires individualized evaluation based on medical findings.
The number of sessions varies from case to case.
🌿 Treatment Notes
Before Treatment
Please review the precautions for Navel Acupuncture before treatment.
If you have had any recent medical tests, imaging, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
During Treatment
Needle sensations vary from person to person. Mild pain or soreness during insertion may occur and is normal.
In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe acupuncture treatment. Please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension.
After Treatment
Rest after treatment. Drinking warm water may help support circulation and metabolic adjustment. Please avoid excessive exertion and exposure to cold or wind.
Many knee pain patients notice improvement during the same treatment session.
In cases involving degenerative changes, long-standing pain, or post-surgical conditions, improvement may occur more gradually over time.
Some patients may experience temporary soreness, fatigue, or mild changes in knee sensation after returning home, usually on the following day or later.
These are considered healing responses. Please do not be overly concerned and return for follow-up assessment as needed.
