Understanding Acupuncture for Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help or miss work. It is a leading cause of disability worldwide.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain.

Western medicine explains acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.
