How does acupuncture help back pain
Acupuncture can be an effective way to ease lower back pain by targeting both the body and the nervous system. In traditional Chinese medicine, pain is thought to occur when the flow of energy, or qi, becomes blocked.
By placing fine needles at specific points, acupuncture helps restore balance and improve energy flow, which can relieve discomfort and promote healing. From a modern medical perspective, acupuncture stimulates the nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, encouraging the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin.
This process can reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to the affected area, and relax tight muscles that often contribute to back pain. Together, these effects help reduce pain, increase mobility, and support the body’s natural ability to recover
