Brief Answer:
Accupuncture is a good alternative and adjunct option

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Accupuncture is part of alternative and Chinese traditional medicine. If the alleve, glucosamine, krill oil, Turmeric, and Boron have been unable to provide significant pain relief then you should opt for acupuncture as its a safe procedure with no serious side effects. It has both physical and psychological benefits with respect to pain reduction and improving overall mobility and function. For information regarding the forum you can contact YYYY@YYYY
