Managing Common Rheumatological Problems with Complimentary Therapies
Mar 04, 2022
The Medical research charity Arthritis Research UK launched its evidence-based report in January 2013 titled ‘Practitioner-based complementary therapies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and lowback pain’, using results from randomised clinical trials to assess their effectiveness and safety.
The therapies that were shown to be the most effective were:
- Acupuncture for osteoarthritis, low back pain and fibromyalgia
- Massage for fibromyalgia and low back pain
- Tai chi for osteoarthritis
- Yoga for back pain
At the HealthHub we are able to offer acupuncture, massage and small exercise groups. For more information on what we can offer those suffering with common Rheumatological conditions such as
