Acupuncture for Back Pain

Acupuncture for Back Pain

 

The back is especially susceptible to what health care providers call a “pain cycle.” This is when muscles go into spasm due to pain. That distorts bones and nerves, which causes more spasms and more pain. Acupuncture can break this cycle by promoting natural steroid and endorphin production within the body.

Some acupuncturists will use a few needles on a patient’s hands or back but methodologies can differ.  

The length of treatment varies widely, depending on how long the patient has had the condition. In general, the longer the back pain has gone on, the longer it will take to heal.

An acupuncturist begins any course of treatment with a full assessment of the patient's condition.  Patients are asked about their whole life and various parts of the body are examined, not just the back. This is because Oriental Medicine concerns itself more with restoring balance and harmony to the entire body rather than focusing solely on one part or symptom. The tongue is examined closely as various shades and coatings are thought to indicate the patient’s general health.

Qi (pronounced “chee”) stagnation is a common Oriental Medicine diagnosis for people with back pain. Qi is the energy which flows through the body along energy channels, meridian. Micro-thin, sterile, and disposable needles are inserted at particular points on these meridians. The points do not necessarily have to be near the pain site. The idea is to get the energy flowing smoothly again so it does not remain stationary, or stagnant.
