Is Your Back Holding You Back?

Back pain is a common reason people seek acupuncture treatment, as the effects can be debilitating and can also create tension in other areas of the body. Chronic back pain may be common but that doesn’t mean it’s not severely impacting your life. Back pain can wear you down physically and mentally – disrupting sleep, preventing you from exercising and keeping you from doing the things you love (the things that make life worth living!).

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), up to 70% of people in industrialized countries will experience back pain at some point in their lives. With the side effects and limitations of conventional treatments like medications or surgery, many are turning to acupuncture for back pain relief.

Can Acupuncture Help Back Pain?

The American College of Physicians now recommends acupuncture as a first-line treatment for low back pain before resorting to medications.

Acupuncture can provide both short term relief as well as a long term pain management plan. In their combined years of practice, Keely Edwards and Gabriele Rummel have seen hundreds of patients for back pain and have a wealth of experience and strategies to help you get pain relief and get back to doing the things that you love.

When performed by a registered and experienced practitioner, acupuncture is a safe, minimally invasive, and drug-free therapy. It has fewer side effects than pain medications or corticosteroid injections and can be used alongside other treatments like massage or chiropractic care.
