Back pain is one of the most frequent reasons patients come to our office.

Advantages of using our Medical Acupuncture to treat back pain include effectiveness, virtually no side effects, cost savings over other treatment options, and the fact that the treatment is surprisingly comfortable.

Our exclusive Medical Acupuncture can be very effective for a wide range of painful conditions, including back pain.  

Our exclusive treatment at Acupuncture Murfreesboro involves using the tiny painless needles to stimulate cutaneous nerves and subcutaneous nerves to stimulate the central nervous system to modulate pain syndromes as well as directly treat painful muscle spasm and knots.

In the photo of the spine model above, notice how the nerves (yellow) can become pinched when the vertebrae (white-bones) are misaligned or too close together?  Contemporary medical research has demonstrated that deep spinal muscles can become excessively contracted, essentially pulling these bones abnormally close, pinching the nerves.

Our Medical Acupuncture can target these deep spinal muscles to reduce the muscle contractions to treat the nerve impingement.  This treatment can be directed to treat sciatica, pinched nerve, bulging or swollen discs or other back conditions.

Please note that this particular form of acupuncture treatment is a specialized approach to treating specific spinal conditions.  Our doctor at Acupuncture Murfreesboro uses a diverse combination of treatment options that are intended to resolve most painful conditions. 

With 4 decades of proven clinical experience treating more than 10,000 spines, our doctor has unmatched understanding of what causes back pain and the best ways to resolve it.
