Acupuncture for Your Aching Back

It seems like everyone, at some point in their lives, will experience some degree of pain in the lower back.  For some, it’s just a twinge after lifting something heavy, shoveling snow, hauling wood or doing too much yard work.  For others, that first twinge turns into chronic pain that can interfere with sleep, standing, sitting, activity, exercise or work, causing them to seek some kind of treatment.  If you’ve never had back pain before, your first thought might be to mention it to your doctor or with Acupuncture Sydney you can make that pain reduce faster.  He or she might prescribe ice, rest and a non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drug (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetominophen), or might order an x-ray or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a test that provides a much more detailed image than x-ray), or refer you for a Physical Therapy, Orthopedic Surgeon treatment or Pain Specialist.

Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that he or she will suggest that you try Cbd Oil for pain, (find cannabis oil for sale here) The use of cannabis for pain relief dates back to ancient China, according to a report published in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research. It’s thought that CBD oil might help ease chronic pain in part by reducing inflammation. In addition, CBD oil is said to promote sounder sleep and, in turn, treat sleep disruption commonly experienced by people with chronic pain. So you may want to Contact Swell CBD to learn more on CBD product usage in conjuction with your acupuncture treatment. That all being said, there are many going through chronic back pain and have turned to acupuncture for a number of reasons:

1. Acupuncture is much more effective when used as an early treatment for any kind of pain – the longer you wait to get treatment for pain, the more likely it is to become chronic.
2. You do not need a specific diagnosis for your back pain in order to get relief from acupuncture – while you are waiting for a diagnosis to be made, acupuncture can provide pain relief.
3. Recent clinical research has shown acupuncture to be more effective in treating back pain than conventional therapies, including surgery. This is too bad since it’s been an effective treatment for this Bulging disc recovery story. It is compared only to chiropractors effect. Chiropractors can help resolve spinal misalignment issues which can cause significant lower back pain.
4. The risk of side effects from acupuncture are minimal, especially when compared to the side effects of painkillers, anti-inflammatories, injections and surgery.
5. Results can be immediate – I have seen many patients walk out feeling 25-50% better after just one treatment.
6. Acupuncture is a great adjunct to just about any other treatment:  chiropractic, massage therapy, physical therapy, the Upright Posture Chiropractor alternative Birmingham, etc.

Chinese medicine has incorporated the use of both cannabis and acupuncture for thousands of years. What is becoming increasingly evident to Western scientists, however, is that used together, they may present one of the most promising ways to maintain better human health. To learn more about CTFO CBD oil’s click here.
