Key steps: The Acupuncture process for back pain relief

Here’s a breakdown of how the needle therapy works step by step to help relieve discomfort and restore balance.

• Consultation and Assessment: Your relief starts here! The acupuncturist will chat with you about your medical history and pinpoint what triggers your back pain. This understanding helps craft a personalized treatment plan just for you.
• Customization: Based on your unique pain profile, the acupuncturist will select specific acupuncture points to target. This tailored needle therapy approach ensures you receive the most effective treatment.
• Therapy Application: Using ultra-fine, single-use, pre-sterilized needles, the acupuncturist gently inserts them beneath your skin or into the muscle. You might feel a bit of heaviness, numbness, or tingling, but don’t worry—it shouldn’t hurt! Instead, you’ll likely start to feel more relaxed.
• Duration and Frequency: Frequency and Length: Typically, a needle therapy treatment lasts 30 to 60 minutes. All individuals will react in distinct ways; some may feel renewed and energized, whereas others may fall into a state of peaceful rest. The frequency of sessions will be personalised to your needs to optimise your healing journey.
• Results and Follow-up: Many people notice immediate relief from back pain after just one session of this needle therapy ! With regular follow-ups, you can enjoy ongoing benefits, enhancing not just your back health but your overall well-being.
