Benefits of Acupuncture for Back Pain
Frequently Asked Questions
How does acupuncture help back pain?
Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release endorphins (natural painkillers), reduces inflammation, improves blood flow to injured tissues, and releases tight muscles. It addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of back pain.
How many sessions will I need for back pain?
Acute back pain often responds well to 4-6 sessions. Chronic back pain may require 8-12 sessions for lasting relief. We'll assess your progress regularly and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Is acupuncture for back pain covered by ACC?
Yes, we are an ACC registered provider. If your back pain is the result of an injury (even an old one), you may be eligible for ACC-subsidised treatment. We can help you with the claim process.
Can I combine acupuncture with other back pain treatments?
Absolutely. Acupuncture works well alongside physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and exercise programs. We can coordinate with your other healthcare providers for integrated care.
What should I expect during my first back pain consultation?
We'll discuss your back pain history, examine your posture and movement, and identify contributing factors. You'll receive your first treatment during this session, and we'll create a personalised treatment plan.
