Help, My back is killing me! Can acupuncture help me?
Yes, most likely. Millions of people suffer from low back pain and many find relief. Back pain is one of the top reasons people seek acupuncture. Acupuncture works!
You might wake up in the morning pain-free and as soon as you stand up – there is that nagging, aching pain that shoots across your lower back and into your hips and quite possibly right down your legs to your toes. The worst part is that you may or may not have done anything to contribute to your pain.
Sometimes the pain can be very sharp and stabbing and sometimes a heavy, dragging ache. One thing for sure is that the pain is exhausting.
Acupuncture improves the body’s function by promoting the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific sites on the body. The most common treatment method is to stimulate those points by inserting fine, sterile needles. Acupuncture is essentially a painless treatment. You may feel a slight sensation upon insertion but for the most part, it is painless.
Many Acupuncturists DO NOT include cupping in their sessions. I ALWAYS include cupping, massage and some body work into my treatment sessions because it provides a way for me to assess how your muscles have relaxed, but also to see what needs to be addressed on your next session. Besides, it is a wonderful way to wrap up your treatment.
Clients have come in with unbelievable pain, and many get relief after one session. Typically one treatment is not enough. You owe it to yourself to give acupuncture a try. Acupuncture is covered by Extended Health Care Plans
