Low back pain treatment using Chinese acupuncture implies the sticking of thin small needles into certain parts of the skin to alleviate or even cure pain and enhance mobility in the lumbar area of the spine, as well. One of the most popular uses of Chinese acupuncture is for the treatment of sciatica and muscle strain. It depends on energy vessels known as meridians that serve as thoroughfares for the circulation of energy all over the body.
TCM practitioners including acupuncturists believe that the body possesses 12 primary meridians and a number of secondary meridians. They deem that the energy of the body circulates very close to the skin surface proximal to the points where the needles are inserted.
A typical acupuncture session starts with your acupuncturist asking you a number of questions regarding your medical history. Based on the information gathered from your interview, your acupuncturist then proceeds to devise a plan of treatment designed to address your specific needs. The treatment may entail the insertion of the needles along the lumbar spine for resolving lower back pain. Other points in other parts of the body far from the site of complaint may be needled, as well. These are known as distal points and many times points located on the ears are chosen. Before the needles are inserted, the patient is placed in a comfortable position and his/her skin is sterilized and cleansed.
When the needles are inserted into the skin, the acupuncturist may also connect wires on the needles. These wires are attached to an electrical gadget that produces mild pulses of electricity to help boost the treatment’s pain relieving ability and make the overall treatment more potent.
When treating low back pain, the acupuncturist aims to bring back the healthy balance of energy in the body. People go for acupuncture treatment because it’s a safe and very powerful form of treatment for low back pain.
