Acupuncture for back pain
80% of adults suffered for lower back pain in their lives because it is an associated symptom with the wrong posture, prolonged sitting, and bone diseases such as osteoarthritis as its incidence increases with age. Research shows that lower back pain is a condition that can be treated by acupuncture. A study conducted on 20,000 patients with chronic pain, a third of them receive acupuncture; the other third received fake treatment while the last third didn’t receive any treatment at all. The first third that received acupuncture reported improvements and reduction of chronic pain. Lower back pain patients need 1 to 2 sessions per week, between 6 and 12 sessions. Acupuncture stimulates brain signals to increase endorphins, which act on the immune system to fight inflammation. It secretes natural painkillers, which are the chemical transmitters in the brain to reduce the pain. The points that cats on the lower back pain are points in urinary channel points BL10, 15, 20, 23, 24, 25, 40 and 53, and the gallbladder channel points GB31, 32, 57, and 60. These points are used to restore the normal energy flow inside the meridians and to improve the blood circulation.
