How Does Acupuncture for Back Pain Work?
Acupuncture is a technique rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. It involves inserting hair-thin needles into the skin at strategic places. As a result of the needle placements, patients experience relief of lower back pain in a number of ways.

Acupuncturists and dentists alike have heard increased
complaints of TMJ and bruxism, or grinding of the teeth, in
the last two years as mask-wearing and pandemic-related
stressors remain part of our daily lives. Pre-pandemic, it
was already common for us to hold stress high in our
bodies, causing us to clench our jaws and tense up our
necks and shoulders.
Studies indicate that the pandemic has made these
symptoms statistically worse. Pain that feels like a typical
headache or earache could also be related to TMJ,
bruxism, or stress-related clenching. Thankfully,
acupuncture provides relief from both pain and stress. So,
if you're noticing soreness in and around your ears, down
your neck, or through your jaw, tell your acupuncturist!
