Did you know that chronic low back pain affects over one-third of older adults? A major clinical trial, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), just reinforced what we know:
Acupuncture treatment significantly reduced pain disability and improved physical function for adults 65 and older with chronic low back pain, compared to usual medical care alone.
Key Benefits Highlighted:
✅Less invasive option with a better safety profile than many common treatments.
✅Sustained relief, even at the 12-month follow-up.
✅Associated with fewer anxiety symptoms.
