Why is acupuncture so successful in treating low back pain?
It’s like this, you see, by inserting needles in special acupuncture
points in the low back any acupuncturist worth their salt
can improve the circulation in the lumbar area therby, reducing
pain and removing any stagnat metoboic wastes
that may be hanging around as a painful reminder of
the “grid lock” that may have taken place in low back.
Which, as a result, has pretty much halted most of the circulation in
the lumbar area, that is until the acupuncture treatment
was implemented, removing the stagnation, improving circulation
and helping reduce the pain. Now that makes sense, right?
