This type of pain can severely affect your daily activities, causing serious discomfort while restricting your movement and leading to significant lifestyle changes.

We will help reduce and eliminate pain, increase mobility, and allow you to return to the activities and lifestyle that bring you joy.
How Acupuncture Can Help
Acupuncture is a time-tested treatment that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and relieve pain. For back pain, acupuncture works by:
- Reducing inflammation: Acupuncture can help decrease inflammation by decompressing nerves in the back and shoulders, alleviating pain, swelling, numbness, and tingling.
- Improving circulation: Enhanced blood flow to the affected area promotes faster healing and provides pain relief.
- Relaxing muscles: Acupuncture helps relax tight and sore muscles, reducing tension and improving mobility.
- Releasing endorphins: The treatment stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, providing immediate relief.
- Treating the Root Cause: Oftentimes back pain is due to internal pathologies that are only manifesting as back pain. Chinese medicine will address these fundamental issues and restore balance to the entire system.
