Tai Chi Improves Pain In Arthritis Sufferers

Tai Chi decreases pain with trends towards improving overall physical health, level of tension and satisfaction with health status. A new study published in the June issue of Arthritis Care & Research examined the effectiveness of Tai Chi in decreasing pain and disability and improving physical function and quality of life in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. When used as the main intervention for patients with musculoskeletal pain, the results demonstrate that Tai Chi improves pain and disability in patients suffering arthritis.

Steve - the mainstream medical community will likely ignore this because Tai Chi is definitely not a big moneymaker.
