Fight the War on Pain with Acupuncture

November 23, 2008 on 9:41 pm | By admin | In Health & Fitness

 Do you have persistent lower, middle or upper back pain yet do not want to consider exploratory spine surgery?  Try looking into some alternative treatments for your pain.  There are several options that you have; physical therapy for example, can help you with stretching if you have a herniated disc problem that is not severe enough for spine surgery.  Also, look into the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture.  This age old application is when an extremely small and thin needle is gently inserted into certain pressure points of the skin and muscles.  Though not painful, the acupuncture needles do cause a tingling sensation and redness to follow.  Acupuncture has a high success rate and is a good alternative to consider rather than opting for spine surgery.
