Did you know acupuncture can be incredibly effective for a herniated disc?
I recently had a patient come in who was on the verge of going to the ER. They could barely walk and were in intense spasm pain. Instead, they came in for treatment, and left walking upright with significantly less pain and tension. Two days later at follow-up, they were already on the upswing.
So why does this work?
Acupuncture doesn’t just address the painful spot. It treats the body as a connected system. In this case, we worked on the surrounding fascia and channels that were contributing to the problem.
Treatment included:
🌱 Cupping on the upper back to relax the nervous system and release tension
🌱 Electrical stimulation along the spine and SI joint to calm spasms and support the low back
🌱 Trigger point therapy in the calf muscles to release connected fascial pull
What’s happening physiologically?
We’re encouraging circulation in areas of stagnation, which reduces tightness and inflammation. Low-frequency stimulation helps activate and support weakened muscles of the low back. Releasing tight muscles along connected fascial lines allows the body to realign and move more freely.
This is a huge win — not only because the patient felt better quickly, but because we’re addressing the root cause instead of masking symptoms with a temporary fix that can lead to more issues later.
The body has an incredible ability to heal when given the right support.
