Okay, so I know it’s not the latest news, but it is worth reiterating just how good acupuncture is for back pain.
Back in 2009 (sorry, I just couldn’t resist the pun), the BBC reported how the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) said that patients with persistent low back pain should be offered acupuncture, massages or exercises on the NHS.
I treat many patients with back problems.
The British Occupational Health Research Foundation (BOHRF) states that 40% of the population are affected by back pain and 50 million working days are lost. The cost to the working public is about £5 billion (or £200 for every employee) in sickness absence costs.
If you suffer from back pain and nothing, so far, has seemed to work, go to my About page and give me a call. Let’s see if acupuncture can help get you pain-free.
