Very good: If you suffer from back/ leg pain please firs check with your doctor to make sure it is not for example a tumor that is pressing on a nerve causing you the problem . If it is a case where the pain is secondary to pure inflammation and irritation of the nerve secondary to impingement by a disc , muscle spasm, heavy lifting, bad posture, exposure to cold , etc.. Then acupuncture is the way to go!

See below: Acupuncture works on back/ leg pain by reducing inflammation & by breaking through blocks in obstruction of blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, nerve conduction and chi. It also works by stimulating endorphins in our brain. It can be very beneficial.

Acupuncture: It is considered a viable additional or adjunctive therapy that can help contribute to relief. Acupuncture involves placement of almost microscopic needle tips into 'meridians'. It is not painful.
