According to www.garrytrainer.com
I use acupuncture on every patient. After 28 years of experience, I think it is an invaluable way to release the soft tissues, ease muscle pain and prepare a physical structure for manipulation.
I use massage to locate all the tender points in the affected area and then place fine needles into these points. There is a reduction in pain perception and the muscle spasm is eased.
Acupuncture has also been proven to work when stimulating the nervous system, which induces the release of endorphins. These have a similar chemical structure to morphine.
I'm glad to know more and more practitioners understand that acupuncture play a great role in back pain treatment.
