How Acupuncture relive back pain?

First, it stimulates the secretion of the neurotransmitters called endorphins that send the body into the Relaxation Response. This relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation, bringing new oxygen to tissues and reducing inflammation and pain.

Second, it stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete our body’s own natural cortisone product called cortisol that powerfully fights inflammation throughout the body.

Third, acupuncture has a direct localized anti-inflammatory effect on the specific tissues of an actual injury site. For example, if you have a painful tennis elbow or low back pain, and you place ultrathin, sterile acupuncture needles in the muscles surrounding the joint, it has an anti-inflammatory effect that is caused by the direct relationship between the the needles and the inflammed tissues themselves. Scientists believe this is accomplished via the endocrine system.

Fourth, acupuncture on muscular “motor points” causes muscles to actually lengthen, thereby releasing mechanical pressures on tendons, ligaments, nerve roots, and vertebral spaces.

Fifth, acupuncture deactivates the painful trigger points that are at the root of many repetitive use injuries and much back and neck pain.

Sixth, in chronic pain cases, acupuncture helps “turn the pain” messages of the nerves off” and coupled with therapeutic exercises creates new neural pathways without pain.How Acupuncture Helps
