Research on acupuncture for back pain
Research from the University of Maryland School of Medicine analyzed dozens of studies around the world on 'acupuncture and back pain'. The conclusion is that, "research showed acupuncture to be clearly effective at providing considerable and true pain relief".How acupuncture works for back pain
- Increases local blood flow to the area
- Releases endorphins, which is a natural way your body relieves pain to feel good
- Activates the body's natural healing mechanism to repair connective tissue
- Helps the body to shed toxins (which can contribute to a sluggish recovery) and therefore resets the natural healing process
- Reduces inflammation, which can be the key to unblocking back pain
