Back Pain
Back pain is one of the main reasons that people seek out alternative care - partly because conventional medicine offers so few options, but mostly because alternative treatments work so well.
We see many back pain patients in our clinic every day. With acupuncture, herbal medicine, and massage, our patients experience dramatic reductions in pain, and improvements in their range of motion. Most patients feel a positive change after just one visit, with significant reduction of pain after several more visits.
Your first visit
Our approach to back pain starts with a determination of the causes of the pain. Back pain can be caused by muscle strain, disc problems, nerve damage, poor circulation, poor posture, or a number of other causes. On your first visit with us, we'll spend time doing a complete exam and finding the cause of the pain. Expect to spend about 1 hour with our doctors on your first visit. We'll get to the root of the problem, and then help you to understand it and the treatment options available.
Treatment
Next, based on your particular needs, we may recommend:
- Massage, to relax chronically tense and sore muscles.
- Acupuncture, to relieve pain by correcting nerve problems, circulation problems, and energetic imbalances.
- Manipulation to correct structural problems and nerve impingement, without the risks of surgery.
Only after thoroughly exploring these safe, gentle, and effective treatments should a patient even consider surgery for back pain. With these treatments, most people with back pain find no need to consider surgery or drug therapy. For those patients who do not respond to natural treatments, or who are found to have conditions that may require surgery, we refer patients to skilled neurosurgeons for a surgical consult.

"I really had my doubts about acupuncture, and I was scared it would hurt. Now I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. People, acupuncture DOES NOT HURT! It works! My back pain is gone."
