An effective way to ease lower back pain
Lower back pain is a common affliction which affects many of us at some point in our lives. One might suffer from lower back pain for many reasons: injury, wear-and-tear, ‘mechanical’ issues or general weakness in the area. Lower back pain can affect other areas of the body, resulting in sciatica (pain radiating down the sciatic nerve of the leg) or hip pain, whether chronic or acute. It can also cause mental or emotional stress which often accompanies constant pain.
Besides relying on continuous pain medication, is there anything you can do to resolve your symptoms faster?
Want to know how to ease lower back pain? Acupuncture is proven to be highly effective
Acupuncture has been clinically shown to be an effective treatment for chronic and acute back pain. Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing modality used to treat physical and psychological problems. Several studies have shown it to be highly effective at resolving lower back pain. I ran the acupuncture service for Lambeth and Lewisham NHS for 25 years, and back pain was one of the most common GP referrals I received. Around 75% of treated patients reported complete or satisfactory treatment outcomes for their back pain and related conditions.
Chinese Medicine attributes the cause of lower back pain and other conditions to a lack of vital life energy (Qi) circulation in the afflicted area. Regardless of the cause of your lower back pain issues, by supporting and increasing this vital energy, the back gets stronger and less tense, and pains in the back muscles, spine, hips and legs subside.
For patients with lower back pain, one can typically reach a positive outcome within a few sessions, depending on the specific issue. The acupuncture treatment is non-intrusive and undertaken clothed with minimal skin exposure in particular areas, mainly the arms, legs and lower back.
At my clinic, Brighton Community Acupuncture, I offer treatment on a sliding fee scale to ensure it remains accessible to everyone who needs it. We can treat multiple issues during a session, so you may find the treatment resolves secondary health issues as an additional benefit.
