2. Acupuncture and complaints

Four out of five adults experience back pain at some point, whether it's a one-time occurrence, recurring, or chronic. The most well-known back issues, such as herniated discs and sciatica, typically have a clear cause. However, more often the exact cause is unclear. Back pain can result from poor posture or improper movements, as well as from lack of physical activity, obesity, high work pressure, or stress. Body structure, genetic factors, organ problems, or spinal abnormalities also contribute.

Acupuncture Helps with Back Pain
Back problems often involve pain. The pain varies from mild, nagging pain in one person to unbearable pain in another. Back pain is often accompanied by muscle cramps, stiffness, and radiation to other places. Pain makes you tense and tired, disrupts your sleep, and affects your emotions. It influences your joy of life and energy. Acupuncture can help you break free from this vicious circle.

Acupuncture for Pain Relief
Acupuncture is indeed an excellent way to combat pain. Research shows that acupuncture often works better than heavy and addictive painkillers. Acupuncture relaxes you and your muscles, bringing your energy and emotions into balance. Your body literally gets space to recover. You will gradually experience fewer accompanying complaints such as insomnia and fatigue.

Acupuncture for All Types of Back Pain
An acupuncturist doesn't just look at the nature and location of the pain, but at you and your energies as a whole. Lower back pain is often related to kidney energy, your basic energy. If you exceed your limits too often or for too long, you deplete this energy. If you are constantly frustrated or angry, the liver energy gets blocked, leading to increased muscle tension. Sadness or lack of joy disrupt your lung energy and heart energy, making you weak and feeble. Therefore, the acupuncturist not only treats the back pain but also addresses the root cause of the back issues.
