Back pain can range from mildly annoying to incapacitating. While taking pain medication has been the usual route, different avenues of care may be more effective and offer longer lasting results. Please seek immediate medical attention for numb or weak legs, or urinary problems. Strengthen your core – make sure it is done correctly by seeking professionally trained individuals. Apply heat to an aching back! Registered massage therapy relieves those tight muscles that may be pulling on your spine, pelvis, or shoulder girdles. Acupuncture offers pain relief, reduces inflammation, and relaxes tight muscles. It has been proven to lessen pain and improve function. Acupuncture, along with the above therapies, is recommended to replace opioid pain medication, and most importantly, acupuncture does not cause any significant adverse side effects. Nonneedle acupuncture treatment is available. Please inquire!
