Is acupuncture helpful for back and neck pain?
Nearly 80% of adults have low back and/or neck pain at some point.
Twelve studies with over 8,000 participants showed that acupuncture was more effective than no treatment for back or neck pain, and data from 10 studies with close to 2,000 participants showed that acupuncture was more effective than sham acupuncture.
The pain-relieving effect of acupuncture was comparable to that of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, with acupuncture now being a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
Remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for 50 years.
