research
Low back pain is one of the most researched conditions treated by acupuncture. Due to overwhelmingly positive research, The American College of Physicians (ACP) has included acupuncture in its’ guidelines for the treatment of low back pain. Providers are encouraged to recommend non-invasive treatments for back pain including acupuncture, massage, and spinal manipulation. Find more info here.
A 2020 systematic review looked at seven clinical trials comparing acupuncture treatment to standard pharmacological treatment for migraine treatment. After examining the results of all these studies, it was concluded that “acupuncture is just as effective and has fewer side effects than many of the standard pharmaceutical agents that are currently used.”
