What is Arthritis?
Arthritis isn’t just a single condition, it’s actually a way of referring to joint pain or joint disease, covering over 100 different types. Picture your joints as the hinges on a door. Now, imagine if those hinges started to rust and creak – that’s sort of what happens with arthritis. It’s most common among adults, but it doesn’t play favorites, anyone, even children, can have arthritis.
While age, family history, and injuries can increase your risk, being overweight and certain infections can also cause it. There’s no cure, but treatments can help manage symptoms – think of it as oiling those rusty hinges to keep the door swinging smoothly.
Types of Arthritis
Arthritis is like an uninvited guest that comes in many forms, each with its own way of harming the joints. Here are some of the main types you might encounter:
- Osteoarthritis (OA). The most common type. Think of it as the wear-and-tear kind, where joint cartilage breaks down over time. It’s like the cushioning between your bones gradually wears thin, leading to pain and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This one’s an autoimmune condition. Your body’s defense system gets confused and attacks your joints, leading to inflammation and joint damage. It’s like your body mistakenly thinking your joints are the enemy.
- Psoriatic Arthritis. Linked with psoriasis, this type affects some people with the skin condition. It can cause joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, alongside the red, scaly skin patches of psoriasis.
- Gout. This is all about uric acid buildup, leading to sudden, severe attacks of pain and swelling, usually in one joint at a time, often starting with the big toe.
Each type of arthritis has its own way of making life challenging, but understanding them is the first step toward managing symptoms.
How is Arthritis Treated?
Treating arthritis is all about managing symptoms and improving joint function. The treatment plan can vary based on the type of arthritis and its severity, but here’s a general rundown:
- Medications. These can range from pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs to more specific medications that target underlying conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis.
- Physical Therapy. A physical therapist can develop exercises to keep joints flexible and strengthen the muscles around the joints, which can help reduce pain.
- Lifestyle Changes. Weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Surgery. In severe cases, joint repair, replacement, or fusion surgeries might be recommended.
Though there is one extra option that may prove useful.

- Acupuncture for arthritis in knee. Studies suggest that acupuncture for knee arthritis can reduce pain and improve mobility in people with knee osteoarthritis, making daily activities easier.
- Acupuncture for rheumatoid arthritis. While RA is an autoimmune condition, acupuncture may help reduce the inflammation and pain associated with it, offering a complementary approach to conventional treatments.

Patient Reviews in Brooklyn
Exceptional service. Clean and calming rooms. Easy billing/insurance process. Would recommend!
Best Accupuncture in Williamsburg! Marina Laryssa are fantastic. Helped relieve pain for my marathon preparation assisting with Plantar fasciitis ITBs and stress. Great experience, very friendly, would highly recommend visiting them.
I have been very happy with the services of Pulse Acupuncture, the pain I have has greatly decreased with the Acupuncture.
Laryssa was fantastic. i can’t ever remember a provider taking the time and attention to my specific issues. highly recommend!
Marina is very professional, caring and extremely knowledgable. The office is peaceful and welcoming. I highly recommend Pulse Acupuncture for holistic care.
Laryssa is very empathetic and clearly cares about her patients. She’s passionate about her job and wants her patients to feel better. I’ve been seen by Marina a couple of times when Laryssa wasn’t there and I can say the same for her. Overall I highly recommend this acupuncture office.
I have been doing acupuncture consistently for 3.5 years, started with Marina almost 3 years ago and also started seeing Larissa this last year.Acupuncture has truly changed my life and has helped me in ways I didn’t even know were possible.I started doing acupuncture to balance my hormones after 2 years of unsuccessful fertility treatments. When I started seeing Marina, my periods were starting to be regular and I was dealing with a few different symptoms which we started treating right away (constipation, random headaches, body aches)… in the last 3 years I have not been sick (no flu, have never tested positive for COVID) - Marina even treated me for allergies more than a year ago during an allergy episode in changing seasons.Also want to mention Larissa as I started seeing her in Marina’s beautiful office and she’s also contributed to my wellness journey. Acupuncture is my favorite wellness practice, I see them regularly and have never felt better. I sometimes just tell them whatever I’m thinking/feeling knowing they will stick some needles in different places of my body and I come out floating and feeling so relaxed.
Marina is the most qualified acupuncture specialist I've ever worked with. I recommend her highly.
My symptoms have improved dramatically after just 3 sessions! She’s talented and kind, and uses various techniques that really make me feel like she’s taking a holistic approach to my health and emotional wellbeing. Cannot recommend her enough!
I've had several sessions with Marina and have had a great experience. I feel relaxed every time a session is over. I recommend trying Pulse out!
I visited Marina for back pain and digestive issues. My whole experience was positive. She is patient, empathetic, and very talented and knowledgeable. She used multiple modalities on my body (front and back) to address my concerns and treat the whole body rather than one part. I have been returning each week and I feel so good after.
Dr Marina is very best to find cure for your aches and pains. She tailors treatment with modalities that fit individual's ailments. You will get relief.
My partner and I have been seeing Marina for the past year now, and it's been a game changer for my health (anything from back pain to allergies). Since starting treatment all these conditions have become so much more manageable.Marina is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very calming and has great bedside manners. If you're looking for a fantastic acupuncturist I can't recommend her enough!!
Marina is so thoughtful and attentive. I have been seeing her regularly for months now and my quality of life is so much better. She’ll listen to what you’re struggling with and give you a really customized session where you walk out the door feeling amazing. Don’t be scared of the needles, it doesn’t hurt!
Highly professional and knowledgeable technician who explains as she goes so there are no surprises. Knows a variety of techniques to provide some of the best care possible. Highly recommended.
Best place to be in new Jersey hands down and yes to recovery. State of the art equipment, advanced training staff awarding with convenient scheduling.

Dr. Marina Doktorman is sweet and amazing at what she does. I feel very comfortable with her and her practice is very clean and spa-like. I’ve been coming weekly for a month and noticed changes in my wellbeing. Using acupuncture she’s able to regulate my hormones, unblock my chakras, and overall improve my wellbeing. I love it and will continue weekly or biweekly treatments as long as my insurance is covered. I highly recommend her to anyone who is new to it or interested in acupuncture treatment. It’s very calming and relaxing!

(Marina is super intuitive and adjusts treatment accordingly!) Highly recommend going here, you’ll feel better mentally and physically as soon as you’re walking out!
Highly recommend! I have been to quite a few acupuncturists over the years and Pulse is by far my favorite and the most attentive. It is a full service of treating my back, front body and cupping (it does not feel rushed). I suffer from chronic neck pain from an old injury and go for postpartum symptoms relief. I always feel better after leaving. The office is beautiful and calming as well.
Marina relieved my back pain after just a couple of visits. I had been suffering for months and her method of treatments proved to be successful. As a doctor myself I can say that she has great bedside manner as well.
Marina is a great acupuncturist. She is very gentle, professional and caring. I’ve been seeing her on a weekly basis for over a month now to deal with severe fatigue and stress, and in no time the sessions have taken effect. I feel more centered, calm and filled of positive energy. I no longer suffer from insomnia, dizziness or intense anxiety. The practice where she receive appointments in Williamsburg is very nice, clean and comfortable that makes sessions very pleasant and relaxing. I’m very grateful to Marina for her care. Finally, she is very flexible for appointments and can even see a patient in the evening which is very convenient. I highly recommend her.
To understand what I'm talking about, you have to try it for yourself.After 10 minutes of the procedure, you get into a different reality. Marina is knowledgeable, answers all the questions. After the procedure, the skin of the face glows, the body becomes lighter by a couple of pounds. I've been looking for such a procedure and state of mind for a long time.
Pulse Acupuncture is exactly what I’ve been looking for to treat my migraines! Marina is knowledgeable, professional, asks probing questions and does fire cupping! She also has a very serene and clean office that makes me feel so relaxed and I never feel rushed during my sessions. Marina is truly incredible - her treatments help me mitigate migraines and I highly recommend her for any acupuncture/holistic health needs!! (I’ve tried other practitioners in the area and none have compared to Marina’s experience and professionalism.)
I used acupuncture for low back and SI joint pain. I have a chronic condition. After the 1st treatment pain reduced by 75%. I am very happy with the results. I'm coming back. Thank you!
I found Marina while I was experiencing horrible lower back pain and her treatments got me back to my normal self quickly. Her office is beautiful, clean and welcoming. I will be going back regularly for routine maintenance and stress relief.
Very happy that my friend recommended Pulse Acupuncture Williamsburg Brooklyn to me! Marina Doktorman is such a professional acupuncturist! It was my first time trying acupuncture and I fell in love with it, I felt younger and lighter after my acupuncture session! I recommend to everyone!!!
Marina healed me with the best acupuncture in Williamsburg. My shoulders and traps was intensely in pain to the point it gave me a headache but Pulse Acupuncture relieved my pain.

I highly recommend Pulse Acupuncture in Williamsburg 🙂
Marina Doktorman is very knowledgeable, skilled, and caring, with many years of experience. Excellent location. Beautiful brand new office.
Super pleased with my first appointment. Marina is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend.
When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!
I felt relief after the first session with Marina Doktorman. Marina is a caring practitioner that establishes a connection with her clients and always ensures a comfortable environment.
