Reduces pain:
Acupuncture is effective for chronic and acute low back pain and is considered a strong therapy for pain management.
Increases function:
Studies show that acupuncture can lead to greater improvement in physical function for older adults with chronic low back pain.
Stimulates natural pain relief:
Acupuncture needles can prompt the nervous system to release endorphins, the body's natural pain-relievers.
Balances nerve signals:
It can activate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to produce more chemicals that reduce the perception of pain.
