Lower Back Pain Treatments

Acupuncture

In traditional Chinese medicine, pain occurs when energy along the body’s meridians is blocked. Acupuncture uses small needles to insert along these pathways and unblock your energy flow, thus alleviating the symptoms. It can enhance the results of other traditional therapy for lower back pain. Also, this process might release some natural opioids for pain relieving, which send signals to your nervous system and release hormones or neurochemicals. Make sure to choose an experienced and licensed acupuncturist to ensure safety and effectiveness. [2]
