Can Moxibustion Treat Osteoarthritis

Moxibustion can be used to treat osteoarthritis, but it can not cure osteoarthritis.

Moxibustion is one of the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Moxibustion can promote inflammation dissipation, accelerate blood circulation and reduce pain and swelling. Therefore, this method can be considered clinically to treat osteoarthritis. However, moxibustion cannot completely inhibit inflammatory tissues or improve abnormal tissues, so it is considered that it cannot cure this disease. Osteoarthritis patients need to be prescribed acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin and other drugs to improve the disease, and reasonable schedule of activities.
