Acupuncture treatment for back pain

acupuncture treatment for back pain
Traditional acupuncture has been used for over 2000 years to alleviate back pain and British Acupuncture Council members have for many years been successfully treating patients for this condition either in private practice or working within the NHS.

The needles used are as fine as a human hair, and the treatment is gentle and relaxing as well as good for the back.
Back pain affects more than 1.1 million people in the UK with 95% of patients suffering from lower back pain problems. This is one of the nation's main reasons for work-related sickness absence.

It is essential for patients to choose an acupuncturist who is registered with a professional body. British Acupuncture Council members have extensive undergraduate degree level training in acupuncture and biomedical sciences appropriate to the practice of acupuncture in the UK. They are bound by strict codes of ethics, and safe practice and professional conduct.

Every patient who visits a British Acupuncture Council practitioner is given a full consultation prior to treatment in order for a traditional diagnosis and treatment plan to be drawn up. The profession of traditional acupuncture continues to be a beneficial and effective therapy for a variety of conditions and the thorough consultation and diagnostic process is of paramount importance to its efficacy.

Research by the University of Regensburg has shown that acupuncture is one of the most effective therapies for back pain. The research published by Archives of Internal Medicine, showed that acupuncture can provide significantly more relief from lower back pain than conventional therapies.

The Chinese needle treatment was 74% more likely to lead to a sustained reduction in pain or improved ability to function normally than physiotherapy, medication and advice on exercise.

So why not give this wonderful treatment a try and free yourself of your back pain at last? For more information see http://www.centreforcomphealth.co.uk/acupuncture.html
