Why lower back pain needs a clear plan
Lower back pain can be linked to muscle tension, joint irritation, workload, posture, stress, sleep and previous injury. Acupuncture may help calm pain sensitivity and support circulation while your practitioner considers the wider picture of your movement and recovery needs.
How acupuncture fits into care
At Meditree, acupuncture is used as part of a clinical plan rather than a generic protocol. For some patients, it is combined with physiotherapy, exercise advice, cupping or rehabilitation-focused guidance to support long-term improvement.
When to book
If your lower back pain is affecting daily activity, sleep, work or sport, a consultation can help determine whether acupuncture, physiotherapy or ACC injury treatment may be suitable.
