Frequently Asked Questions
How does acupuncture help back pain?
Acupuncture may influence pain processing and muscle tension for some people. It is best considered alongside assessment, movement advice and rehabilitation rather than as a treatment for every cause of back pain.
How many sessions will I need for back pain?
There is no fixed number of sessions for back pain. Recommendations depend on your assessment, symptom duration, function and response to care, and the plan should be reviewed regularly.
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?
Acupuncture may be used alongside physiotherapy, exercise or other healthcare when appropriate. We can coordinate care where this supports a clear and safe treatment plan.
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.
