Acupuncture For Low-Back Pain in Gig Harbor

Low-back pain in Gig Harbor can be debilitating and affect one's overall health and well-being. With an estimated 8/10 people experiencing moderate to severe low-back pain at some point during their lifespan as an adult, this is an epidemic worth finding a solution. Unfortunately, once initial damage occurs, the recurrence of low back pain can be as high as 50%, and if never properly healed, becomes chronic back pain until resolved. Although, for immediate relief, most people turn towards over-the-counter pain relievers or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while these can be good for the short term, they can be harmful when overused and abused. Though seemingly harmless, regular NSAID ingestion, especially when mixed with alcohol, can deteriorate the lining of the GI tract and lead to ulceration. Luckily, there is a better way.

Overcoming Low Back Pain in Gig Harbor WA

Acupuncture is holistic at its core, treating every person and their ailments as unique puzzles requiring individualized treatment and care. Out of 10 people with similar complaints, rarely will their treatments and recommendations be the same. Acupuncture is good at treating pain because it reduces inflammation-the same thing that NSAIDs do initially until the body requires higher doses to achieve the same effects. Acupuncture also helps with sleep, allowing the body to heal itself with less frequent interruptions due to pain.

By reducing inflammation and assisting the body in healing itself, regular Acupuncture treatments can change your life and be a credit to your overall health and well-being. If you are among the many who experience low-back pain, even temporarily, know that there are solutions available and that many have already discovered Acupuncture as a significant source of relief.
