By Maria Wagner


It is estimated that 80% of all people will complain of back pain at one point in life. In fact, it is one of the most common reasons people visit physicians to seek medical attention. Fortunately, Acupuncture for back pain San Jose CA offers the perfect remedy to this problem.

Acupuncture is a healing technique that has been practiced for over 3000 years in the Traditional Chinese Medicine. Currently, its popularity has spread all over the world. It is safe, completely natural, and painless and performs better than some standard therapies in treating specific ailments, including low back pain, chronic pain, infertility, and stress among others. In fact, insurance policies have accepted it and it is now covered.

Several studies have confirmed its effectiveness in treating a number of conditions and now there are insurance policies that cover it. It works by stimulating specific points in the body to release hormones that alter the body functioning and facilitate natural healing.

The modern research has been used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this therapy in the nervous system, endocrine, the immune system, reproductive system, and the digestive system among other benefits.

The process can be enhanced with pressure, electrical or heat stimulation for even better results. Other than the fine needle, some acupuncturists use manual massage, heat therapy (moxibustion), cupping and the use of natural herbs and liniments to achieve the same effects.

It also helps improve muscle stiffness as well as joint mobility through the increase of the local microcirculation, which in turn, aids in the dispersal of the swelling and the bruising. With all these, the end result is that these patients may avoid the use of medication, enjoy a less costly treatment alternative and get faster results, particularly when used together with other alternatives.

When it comes to the frequency and the number of treatments required, it often differs from one person to the other. While most people get relieved in the first treatment, two treatments every week for several months may be required for a long standing chronic back pain.

The therapy has been successful in treating several conditions including back and neck pain, and other musculoskeletal problems. It also works with success in treating anxiety, depression, headache, migraine, nausea and infertility. Some level of success has also been seen in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, biliary colic, depression, dysentery, hypertension, leucopenia, dental ache, morning sickness, stroke, renal colic, tennis elbow among others.

In most cases, a single treatment is often enough. However, some people may require more treatment sessions. For instance, in the case of a long-lasting chronic back pain, the practitioner may recommend two sessions per week for several months.
