Acupuncture is recommended by the World Health Organization for numerous conditions, including back pain.  Almost all of us at some point will find ourselves afflicted with back pain.  Many of us would like to avoid using pain medication or are unable to get relief from even some of the most powerful pain medicines out there.  Acupuncture has proven itself to be a safe and effective way to alleviate back pain caused by sprains, muscle strains, minor injuries, or a pinched or irritated nerve.  Ideal for pregnancy related back pain where drugs are not an option and as a bonus mommy and baby benefit in other ways from an acupuncture treatment.
