Can Acupuncture Help with Your Back Pain?



One of the most common causes of back pain is sprains and strains in the lumbar muscle, because the lower back is more susceptible to strains due to twisting and bending. When the muscle fibers are over-stretched, a strain or sprain has arisen. Inflammation usually accompanies these strains and is obvious through pain when you try to move the area, as well as cramping and decreased range of motion.
If you feel a burning pain, this is mostly an implication that there is a nerve involved, whether it is a tight muscle aggravating a nerve, or a nerve being pinched by your spine.

Reasons for Back Pain

Back pain can be induced by any injury to a muscle, ligament, tendon or bone in your back. The most frequent causes of back pain include a muscle being overworked- this leads to compromised blood flow to the area as well as tension. Another common reason is some form of destruction to a connective tissue (AKA a strain or sprain).

Some common pain or injuries, patients usually pinpoint are-

  • RSI- Repetitive Stress Injury
  • A Sports Injury or Car Accident - Musculoskeletal Injury
  • Poor Desk and/or Sleep Ergonomics - Sleeping or Sitting Habitually in a Way that Causes Stress to your Back
  • Nerve Impingement – Radiculopathy
  • Herniated Disk
  • Osteoarthritis or Spondylosis - Disk Degeneration

How Acupuncture Can Help Relieve Your Pain?

Many people turn to over the counter drugs to help with their pain, as it only provides them with temporary relief instead of helping to actually correct the problem. Acupuncture has been a tested and true method of helping those in pain for thousands of years.

How does exactly this all work?

The long thin needles acupuncturists stick into your body is placed at precise points depending on your injury or what you need treated. These needles are placed at points that are connected to the nervous system, to then trigger a response from it.
Your nervous system will respond instantly to the messages the needles are sending from the areas in need of treatment. The needles show the brain and your system what areas are in need of treatment and additional attention. Once the message is received, your system can unleash a flow of endorphins and enkephalins, your body’s natural painkillers. Alternative neurochemicals also are discharged that influences your body’s own internal control system. This means that it can stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities by bringing about a normalizing effect on your nerve and hormone function with biochemical balance. Acupuncture will then also increase the blood flow to the injured or painful area to promote healing through increased circulation. Lastly, it relaxes the encircling muscles within the space to additional decrease the pain.
