Research shows acupuncture is the best treatment for back pain. It’s so effective we guarantee you will feel better or you pay nothing.

In 2007 the largest study of acupuncture vs. conventional treatment for back pain ever conducted found acupuncture is the more effective treatment. Researcher Dr Heinz Endres said: "Acupuncture represents a highly promising and effective treatment option for chronic back pain." Patients experienced not only reduced pain intensity, but also reported improvements in the disability that often results from back pain and therefore in their quality of life." More than 1,100 patients took part in the study.

Are You Tired of Back Pain?

Acupuncture offers relief even when other treatment methods have failed.

Two studies published last year in the British Medical Journal, which found a short course of acupuncture could benefit patients with low back pain.

Mike O'Farrell, of the British Acupuncture Council, said: "Through these controlled research findings demonstrating the effectiveness of acupuncture, we believe that both the medical health profession and members of the public will see the benefits of acupuncture as part of an integrated healthcare service."

How Acupuncture Relieves Pain

Acupuncture releives pain in the following ways

  • reduces inflammation
  • relieves muscular tension
  • initiates whole body relaxation
  • breaks the cycle of pain 
  • relaxes the nervous system
  • improves movement and eases stiffness

Less Tension = Less Pain

Most pain arises from muscles that are chronically contracted. We have all experienced a muscular spasm or cramp some time in our life, chronic pain is from chronic spasms or tension in muscular tissue. If this tissue is held in tension for long periods the tissue will also become inflamed which makes it even more painful.

Sometimes pain involves the nerves too. Nerve pathways can become squeezed or blocked by structural misalignments or become trapped in soft tissue which is in spasm. Nerve pain has a different often more severe and continuos quality and responds more slowly but still gets better with acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture dramatically reduces tension and inflammation, which means that from the first session most clients are feeling significant relief. Super fine painless needles are placed carefully into painful areas resulting in a melting away of tension and pain.
