So I’m not one to try pain medicines unless it’s a last resort - does acupuncture work for seniors?

We hear you! There are many studies to show that acupuncture can be effective in treating mild forms of osteoarthritis. Essentially, this technique causes an increase in T-cells and inhibits inflammatory cytokines which can result in pain management. Acupuncture may also be useful for those suffering from back pain and headaches. Results can vary, however it is one non-drug option many seniors try frequently.
