If you’ve been treated by acupuncture before, you probably already know how effective this medicine can be, not only for pain, but for a whole host of other conditions.
According to research, U.S. adults spend $86 billion on back pain, and the scary part is that most of it is not effective. In addition, the go to treatment is typically NSAIDS and other pain meds which are not recommended for long-term use because of the side-effects they can cause. Most importantly, pain medication does not treat the root cause of the pain, but only masks the symptoms.
Acupuncture provides a natural, safe and effective approach for treating pain conditions, and has been shown to provide longer term relief. It works by addressing the root cause of the problem, which allows for more consistent and longer term relief of symptoms and overall improved general well-being. . . with no side effects.
