Information on Back Pain & Sciatica
Four out of five people will be crippled by backache at sometime in their lives. Painkillers usually only relieve the pain temporarily, but cannot cure the cause of the pain.
Acupuncture is a very effective treatment for these conditions. If you don’t like the idea of needles, Korean Hand Therapy and Cupping are both very good treatments as well.
N.I.C.E Recommendations for Back Pain
In 2009 the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommended that acupuncture should be made available on the NHS, as a cost-effective short-term treatment for the management of early, persistent non-specific lower back pain.
