A newly published Cochrane review of reviews has examined non-drug and non-surgical treatments for low back pain. The results? Acupuncture effectively reduces pain and improves function for those with chronic low back pain! π―
πΈ Acupuncture is already integrated into mainstream healthcare in several countries:
β
Statutory regulated in Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal
β
Covered by healthcare insurance in Germany and New Zealand
β
Recommended in clinical guidelines when seeking out a PSA registered practitioner (BAcC)
However the study highlights that many clinical trials underestimate the real benefits of acupuncture because they donβt reflect the personalised treatments given by traditional acupuncturists.
β‘ Traditional acupuncture:
βοΈ Is a safe intervention when provided by trained professionals
βοΈ Can be a long-term solution for pain management
