How does Acupuncture Treat Back Pain?

Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s own healing system. It is often said that acupuncture is responsible for 20% of the healing and your body is responsible for the other 80%.

Acupuncture incites the body to release pain-relieving endorphins.

Acupuncture moves Qi and Blood in the body to decrease stagnation, stasis and improve circulation in the body.

Back Pain Care and Prevention Exercises

Back stretches, such as bridges and squats, exercise such as light walking, Tai Chi/ Chi gong/ Qi gong, or light Yoga stretches (like “Downward Facing Dog”) and keeping your weight down can all help prevent back pain or avoid re-aggravating the back.

Keeping the lower legs strong with exercises such as squats helps keep a strong foundation for holding up the back muscles.

Walking is great for the back due to the forward/backward swaying motion of the arms and because it can help keep the weight off the waist to reduce stress on the back.

Tai Chi/ Chi Gong and Yoga help avoid back pain by keeping the spine supple, especially if done routinely as we age. Think of Yoga as your oiling can to keep joints lubricated over time.

Back Pain Care and Prevention Tips at Work

Use Stand-up desk or work station, or at least improve the ergonomics.

Always lift with your legs and avoid twisting or awkward movements.

Get up and stretch every 20 minutes to avoid the sitting diseases.

How Many Acupuncture Treatments?

Frequency and amount of acupuncture treatments depends on many factors, especially how long you have suffered with back pain and how compliant you are with suggestions made by your practitioner.

Other important factors include lifestyle and how healthy you are overall, your age and how quickly your body responds to acupuncture.

Aleesha D Acupuncture treats back pain on a daily basis.

Acupuncture for Pain from Auto Accident Injury (Pain and Women’s Health near Andover, MN)

Acupuncture for Car Accident Injury and Pain (Pain and Women’s Health in Anoka, MN)

Acupuncture for Back Pain, Neck Pain and Headaches after Auto Injury 

Acupuncture can help relieve back pain, neck pain and headaches due to auto accident injury. Low back pain, neck tension and recurring headaches or migraine are common after car accidents and many people see great results with acupuncture.

Why Get Acupuncture for Neck Pain?

Acupuncture helps with sore neck due to whiplash (subluxation) after auto accident. After a car accident imaging such as fMRI often shows nothing is wrong, though a patient is still suffering from aches and pains. This is because muscles and ligaments may be strained in the neck, causing pain. Acupuncture helps lower inflammation and trigger point acupuncture helps release tight muscles to relieve pain. Acupuncture can also relieve chronic neck pain by breaking up scar tissue within the muscle fascia, left over from old auto accident injuries. This helps relieve muscle spasm pain and stiffness in the neck and shoulders.

Acupuncture for Migraine Headaches

Migraine Headache Testimonial

Acupuncture helps relieve headaches and migraines after auto accident, whether the headache pain is located at the base of the neck, the forehead, temples, top of the head, jaw/ facial pain or pain all over the entire head. Acupuncture helps all types of headaches, whatever the root cause.

  • Allergy headaches
  • Cluster headaches
  • Migraine headaches
  • Muscle tension headaches
  • Sinus headaches
  • Stress-related headaches
  • TMJ (temporal mandibular jaw syndrome) headaches
  • Trigeminal neuralgia headaches

 

Acupuncture for Back Pain

Back Pain Patient Testimonial

Acupuncture is well known for improving acute back pain, whether due to muscle strain or herniated disc, also known as a “slipped” disc or spondylolisthesis (where a disc slips over the vertebra beneath it). Acupuncture is also good for congenital (since birth) back pain, such as pain of spina bifida. Acupuncture is good for chronic back pain due to many reasons, including arthritis pain and degenerative disc disease.

  • Acute (recent) back pain
  • Chronic (long-term) back pain
  • Congenital (since birth) back pain

What is the Science behind How Acupuncture Decreases Pain?

Acupuncture decreases pain by inciting the body to release specific endorphins which relieve pain, acupuncture increases Qi and blood (circulation) to the affected area and decreases inflammation in the body (inflammation causes pain and chronic inflammation causes disease).

  • Acupuncture releases Pain-relieving endorphins (hormones)
  • Acupuncture increases circulation
  • Acupuncture lowers inflammation

Why try Acupuncture For Pain?

Acupuncture works for pain relief (well-researched for pain relief) and is a medical treatment alternative to medications which may be habit-forming (addictive) and may lead to further issues. Some patients find they are able to avoid back surgery for pain after acupuncture treatments.

Licensed acupuncturists look for the root cause of the pain instead of merely treating and covering up the symptoms, in order to not only stop the pain, but also keep the pain from returning (prevention).

For instance, three people may present with headaches and instead of giving each individual the same pill or using the same set of prescribed acupuncture points, they are each asked detailed questions in order to find out the root cause, i.e., genetics, hormonal, allergies, stress, physical trauma due to injury, etc.

  • Research proves acupuncture is effective for treating pain
  • Acupuncture treats the root cause, not just the symptoms
  • Acupuncture treats the individual (treatments are specific to each individual)
  • Acupuncture is an effective alternative to pain killers and sometimes to recommended surgery

How Many Acupuncture Treatments?

Acupuncture should relieve pain within about three treatments and significant pain relief should happen after about six treatments, in general. However, individuals react differently to acupuncture and many factors need to be considered such as, how long the issue has been around (chronic versus acute pain), compliance or how well patient follows practitioner recommendations, such as frequency of treatments and at-home-care, other factors like age, overall health of the individual and how quickly one’s body responds to acupuncture.
