Knee replacement in your future? Consider this “needle” recovery

The orthopedist tells you it’s going to be a BRAND-NEW knee…

And that eventually you’ll FEEL BETTER.

Sure, a knee replacement can give most folks a new lease on life that isn’t saddled with daily pain and discomfort.

But getting to that point?

Well, it’s a very LONG recovery… and even a dangerous one shortly after you leave the operating table.

Because the DAYS and WEEKS that follow surgery can be an absolute nightmare for your knees. And many end up on heavy meds… including opioids.

But getting a new knee doesn’t have to involved a grueling and potentially dangerous recovery.

Today I’ve got the skinny on how an ancient “needle” technique can ensure you have a safe, effective recovery.

Acupuncture during joint replacement surgery may be the key to avoiding pain and powerful prescription painkillers.

That’s right… this ancient, homeopathic ‘needle’ treatment could unlock the key to restoring the health of your knees AND preventing a dependency on dangerous drugs.

Studies have found that acupuncture is a wonderful, preventive treatment for many health conditions and symptoms, including hypertension, insomnia, and painful migraine headaches.

And know you can add knee replacement recovery to that list!

In fact, a study led by the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York found that acupuncture was so effective that nearly 66% of the patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery were either opioid-free or only needed low-doses of painkillers if they had acupuncture for knee pain while under the knife.

Amazing (and a much better alternative to addictive opioids)!

If you’re considering acupuncture (or even if you’re skeptical about it), there are a couple of things to consider…

First, discuss it with your doctor first and be sure to find a practitioner who is licensed as having proper training and credentials. You can look for one here.

Second, most major health insurance plans – including Medicare – now cover acupuncture! Just be sure to check what your acupuncture benefits are with your insurance provider first.
