Address inflammation with acupuncture

Chronic back pain affects most of us at some point in our life and can have a severe impact in our lives and be quite debilitating.

Our spine consists of bone, muscle, nerves, ligaments and tendon and at any time can be damaged from injury or wear and tear creating pain and loss of mobility. 

At each section of vertebra is an exit called the neural foramen where nerves exit and if there is compression of any of these nerves from herniated disc, bone spurs or facet problems this creates pain and inflammation.

The pain can radiate along the nerve pathway across the back and down the arms or legs. The attached muscles will spasm from attempting to alleviate the pain or injury.

By using acupuncture around the local area of pain and known distal points, acupuncture can reduce inflammation and any swelling of the area and in turn relieve pain effectively.

Today’s treatment is strictly regulated and refunds are available with the major health funds. 

There is no worry if you have a fear of regular needles, as acupuncture needles are single-use, sterilized, stainless steel iterations that are as thin as cat’s hair.
