Lower Back Pain Can Be a Struggle- We Can Help

Acupuncture is often used for pain relief as a complementary or alternative therapy to conventional approaches such as drugs, injections, and surgery. One of the most common reasons people seek out acupuncture is chronic back pain. Oftentimes back pain is due to muscle tension and strain or arthritis, or both. Sciatica is also a major issue people seek to heal through holistic acupuncture. 

Acupuncture can help back pain by relaxing the muscles and improving muscle tension. Having elastic muscles that are free from stress contribute to living pain free. Circulation can also improve with acupuncture. When we stimulate your energy (qi) in the body, we also stimulate blood flow. Having a healthy flow of energy and blood has an anti-inflammatory effect that calms arthritis.  

We can also release pain relieving endorphins in our brains, causing us to feel good and further reduce inflammation. Acupuncture reduces nerve irritation and inflammation even when there is significant nerve impingement. Moreover, it’s safer to use long term with no fear of side effects from NSAID side effects or addiction. We also may recommend gentle stretches, dietary changes or a natural supplement that will optimize treatment.
