How does Acupuncture help with low back pain relief?
We use EXSTORE as our assessment tool that helps us quickly to identify the cause of the pain. This system based on pre-existing academic research that provides therapists to achieve outstanding clinical results.
By using an excellent diagnostic tool and applying the proper Acupuncture modality we help to restore muscular and nerve activation within minutes so you can ultimately begin to heal.
Acupuncture needles are able to precisely target certain muscles and nerves that are involved in the area of dysfunction to release inhibition and tightness. Thereby decreasing muscular spasm around the sciatic nerve and increasing range of motion.
Acupuncture decreases pain and mechanical stress on injured tissues, increase range of motion, and restore proper muscle tissue and nerve functions.
Acupuncture helps by stimulating the body’s natural response by releasing its own anti-inflammatories and pain killers to combat pain and decrease inflammation on the site of injury
How many treatments will I need?
Our goal is to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of the pain. Promote functional movement, increase range of motion and improve quality of life.
As with all conditions there are many co factors involved such as acute and chronic onset. On average, the number of acupuncture treatments range from 6-20 treatments bi-weekly for the condition to fully resolve.
