How Acupuncture Promotes Natural Healing for Back Pain

If you suffer from back pain, you already know how disabling it can be. Back pain can limit movement, making it difficult to get through your day. Your acupuncturist can help. Dr. Alan Genitempo at RECOVR Acupuncture & Sports Rehab offers a wide range of acupuncture and wellness treatments to help with back pain. He has two convenient office locations in Nutley and Fairfield, NJ.

How Acupuncture Can Help with Back Pain

Back pain can be caused by a wide range of factors, including:

• An accident or injury

• Work-related lifting, twisting, and turning

• Staying in a seated or standing position for a long period of time

• Sleeping on a bad mattress

• A chronic medical condition like spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease

Conventional medical methods often rely on taking medications to treat back pain. These can become addictive and may or may not relieve the back pain. Back surgery is another method to relieve back pain, but surgery often requires a long recovery period.

If you are looking for a minimally invasive, drug-free method to help relieve back pain, consider acupuncture. This ancient pain relief method works by stimulating your body's natural energy, increasing circulation, and tapping into your body’s natural ability to heal muscles and other damaged tissues.

Tiny needles are placed just under the skin during your back pain treatment. These needles are centered along your body’s natural healing centers, called meridians. Naturally occurring substances like cortisone and endorphins are released, helping ease back pain.
