Pain Management and Acupuncture
Acupuncture may not be painful but too many people shiver and turn away from this powerful back pain treatment. If your Pain Management plan for lower back pain is just based on taking pain pills, give some thought to finding a professional and try acupuncture.
I just finished reading a report about a study of 11,630 people with chronic low back pain.
The patients who received acupuncture got up to 15 treatments during the three-month trial period. After that, the researchers followed up with them for another three months.
At the three-month mark, those who got acupuncture enjoyed substantially improved back function. In fact, twice as many acupuncture patients had less pain symptoms as the folks who hadn't got the needle treatment. Even at the six-month mark, at least half of the acupuncture group was still feeling the benefit.
These patients all agreed that the acupuncture did not hurt. They were able to give up pills and all the potentially bad side effects of those pills.
Your Pain Management plan should include at least a consultation on Acupuncture. Acupuncture has a good track record. The biggest problem I see is that most insurance will not cover the treatments. The second problem would be finding a professional.

very good blogger site!.
Do you know BBC News (14/09/2006) Acupuncture for low back pain is cost-effective and works, according to medical researchers. Two studies on bmj.com suggest a short course of acupuncture would benefit patients and healthcare providersThe cost is well below the threshold used by officials to decide whether the NHS can afford to fund a set treatment, they said. Up to 80% of UK residents experience back pain at some point in their lives, costing the NHS £480m a year.—(BBC News 14/09/2006)
And, What do you think about it? Something as follow:
Chinese acupuncture practitioner had almost been accused for website’s ads in Bristol
Dr Zhentong Han is a Chinese registered acupuncturist with twenty years of clinical experience. He is very popular among the patients in the area with outstanding technique. The appointments for him in the clinic in Bradford were always full, however, at Bristol, another place where he set up his business; there were troubles from the competitions in the same field.
It started at the acupunctural website of Dr Han(http://www.backachetherapy.co.uk), which occupied the NO.1 place in a international websites about acupuncture (http://www.passion-4.net/tables/Acupuncture.html). Because of the large number of patients attracted by this website which introduced traditional Chinese acupuncture for backache therapy,and top position in yahoo and google. it caught great attention of other businesses in the same field in a very short time. Some practitioner even registered company names using key words about acupuncture , and notified Dr Han and other practitioners to stop using the some key words for advertising the website. Or else they would probably be charged by the law.
Dr Han claimed that he regretted deeply for the matter, but he didn’t want to get involved in this legal dispute, for the purpose of having a website is not to score high on the network, but to have more patients understand the most veracious Chinese traditional acupunctural techniques through his website, so to help more patients get rid of the pain.

I can attest that Acupuncture is a wonderful thing! I used to be terrified of the idea of being turned into a human pin cushion, but my boyfriend introduced me to an amazing Chinese doctor.
I now go on as regular basis as I can afford to go and it's amazing. When I'm in pain, or can't sleep, or my depression is acting up, it's a great way to combat things like that (and many other).
I even managed to get my dad to go when he had a badly pinched nerve in his shouler. He thinks all alternative health care is "voodoo", but he goes on a regular basis because he can now use his shoulder without pain.
The stuff works!!!
