Acupuncture For Back Pain
August 17th, 2010
The majority of individuals receiving complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies for back pain report great benefit from the various treatments, according to a new Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine study.
Of those surveyed, approximately 60 percent who had at least one CAM therapy in the last 12 months found significant improvement in pain using the top six CAM modalities: Acupuncture, massage, herbal therapies, chiropractic care, yoga/tai chi/qi gong, and relaxation techniques.
With back pain as the second leading reason for medical visits in the U.S., the survey aimed to explore all promising CAM therapies, offering 17 possible choices to survey participants, from hypnosis to naturopathy.
“What we are seeing with these studies is compelling evidence that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for back pain sufferers,” says Gerard Clum, D.C., president of Life Chiropractic College West.
While survey results indicated that complementary and alternative therapies produced significant improvements in back pain, only 24 percent of respondents who received CAM stated that their conventional medical practitioner suggested the use of CAM for back pain. Others turned to CAM treatments because they felt conventional medicine would not help when dealing with severe back pain.
“Back pain sufferers should be made aware of all treatment options, especially alternatives that have been scientifically proven to provide relief,” says Clum.
Acupuncture for back pain:
· Relieves pain better than standard medications.
