In the United States, an Internet search request for "back pain relief" gives up to half of the offers to undergo acupuncture. Developed countries have long identified the important role of acupuncture in the treatment of back pain.
Acupuncture for back pain
This is due not only to high efficiency, but also to the possibility of drug-free treatment. After all, it is no secret that medicines can have side effects on the patient's body, cause allergies, carry a certain drug load on the body, and also have a list of contraindications for use.
Acupuncture has practically no contraindications. Some of the few contraindications for acupuncture are infectious processes in the area of needle insertion, intoxication and oncology. There may be some exacerbation of the process at the beginning of the acupuncture, which is consistent with the principle - if you want to cure a chronic process - transfer it to the acute phase.
Acupuncture is a good treatment for upper or lower back pain, neck pain, limb pain, facial pain and headaches. Zones for the treatment of such types of pathology have been known for more than one millennium.
Particular interest in acupuncture in Europe, the USA and Canada grew at the end of the 20th century. The method proved to be effective in relieving back pain syndromes. This may be due to contraindications and some possible complications when using synthetic drugs.
Back pain treatment with acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment at Zen Acupuncture Center in Milpitas consists in the correct introduction of a sterile acupuncture needle into the active zone, which is responsible for one or another function in the body. In these areas, as a rule, there are nerve fibers, vascular plexuses, nerves or an accumulation of special receptors. There are zones of reflex response from internal organs. In some cases, the needle can act on the so-called trigger points (areas of local muscle contraction or inflammation). Travel and Simons made a great contribution to the understanding of painful reflex responses in the body. By the way, Travel was the personal physician of John F. Kennedy, who suffered from constant back pain.
The therapeutic effect of acupuncture is as follows
When the needle is inserted into a certain place, a stream of impulses arises, which trigger a secondary reflex reaction. This reaction, depending on the actions of the doctor, can change the tone of muscles, blood vessels, improve tissue nutrition (trophism), etc., which positively affects, first of all, the autonomic nervous system.
Acupuncture is a powerful non-drug treatment for pain, including spinal pain and back pain. With the help of acupuncture, it is even possible to carry out surgical interventions, which was actively practiced in China. Specialists in acupuncture achieved complete anesthesia during surgery on the extremities and internal organs.
Thus, acupuncture can achieve:
Back and Neck Pain relief.
Improve blood supply to tissues, brain
Stabilize blood pressure
Reduce muscle tone in painful muscle-tonic reactions.
The use of acupuncture in some cases is comparable to the action of such medications as analgesics, muscle relaxants (midocalm, sirdalud, etc.), vascular drugs.
The Institute of Musculoskeletal Medicine and Neurology actively uses acupuncture. This tactic of treatment in combination has shown high efficiency and safety. Acupuncture is compatible with drug therapy, treatments such as chiropractic, manual medicine, physical therapy, and physical rehabilitation. The use of metameric-receptor and classical oriental methods of acupuncture, taking into account the course of the tendon-muscle meridians of the human body, made it possible to significantly reduce the duration of treatment and increase its effectiveness.
