Acupuncture for Back Pain

Improve your back pain with acupuncture

Back pain is one of the most common pain-related conditions we treat. Low back pain, in particular, is very common, but we also see mid back pain which can be treated in a similar manner.

What treatments we typically prescribe?

Acupuncture or electric-acupuncture +Cupping/Gua Sha technique is typically what we use to treat back pain.

About your Condition

Back pain normally caused by sitting for long periods of time or using the back too much when bending over, especially in compromised positions. Another possibility could be a strain on one of the connective tissues in the back, such as lifting a heavy object from the floor.

The final possibility could be a skeletal problem in the back. This will feel like sharp pains during certain movements and positions such as twisting.

Symptoms

  • Restricted movement
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in one or both sides of the back

Results

Result usually can be seen in 3-7 sessions.

 

Causes of the condition

Back pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint characterized by discomfort or discomfort in the upper, middle, or lower back. It can be caused by various factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, injury, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, or underlying medical conditions. Back pain can range from mild to severe and may be acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than 12 weeks), affecting daily activities and quality of life.

Benefits of acupuncture for the condition

Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to relieving back pain by reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, promoting relaxation, and stimulating the body’s natural healing response. At AcuPro Clinic in London, our acupuncture treatments aim to address the root causes of back pain and provide relief from symptoms such as stiffness, soreness, and restricted movement. With personalized care and gentle techniques, we help individuals find relief and restore mobility in their back.

Treatment process

Our acupuncture treatment process for back pain relief begins with a comprehensive assessment of your pain symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors. During the acupuncture sessions, fine needles are strategically inserted into specific acupoints to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and alleviate pain and discomfort. Our experienced acupuncturists tailor each treatment plan to address your unique back pain issues and support your body’s natural healing process.

Prevention tips

In addition to acupuncture treatment, adopting healthy lifestyle habits and self-care practices can help prevent and manage back pain. These include maintaining good posture, practicing ergonomic techniques at work and home, engaging in regular exercise to strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility, using proper lifting techniques, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, and managing stress through relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga.

Risk Factors

While acupuncture is generally safe, it’s essential to inform your acupuncturist about any pre-existing medical conditions or medications you’re taking, especially if you’re experiencing chronic back pain. Your acupuncturist will tailor the treatment plan to ensure your safety and optimize the benefits of acupuncture for back pain relief.

Lifestyle recommendations

  • Practice good posture and ergonomic techniques to reduce strain on the back during daily activities and work tasks.
  • Engage in regular exercise, such as walking, swimming, or yoga, to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and support overall spinal health.
  • Maintain a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity to reduce the risk of back pain and related musculoskeletal issues.

Aftercare advice

After each acupuncture session, prioritize rest, hydration, and gentle movement to support your body’s response to treatment and enhance the effectiveness of acupuncture for back pain relief. Follow any recommendations provided by your acupuncturist, such as heat or ice therapy, stretching exercises, or lifestyle modifications, to optimize pain relief and prevent recurrence of symptoms. Additionally, maintain open communication with your acupuncturist to track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
