Can you have acupuncture on your knees for arthritus if you are a diabetic?
You can have acupuncture if you are a diabetic. In fact you very well may see some benefits beyond pain relief. You will want to tell your acupuncturists about your health problems, such as your diabetes, if you are insulin-dependent, if you have any sorts of complications like diabetic neuropathy, etc. If you have skin infections or ulcerations due to poor circulation, extra care will be taken to avoid needle insertion in that area. Make sure you find an acupuncturist who has the proper credentials, and they will have educational and clinical experience in dealing with your situation. |
