Sustaining Health Acupuncture

“FBSS (failed back surgery syndrome) rates vary by procedure, but lumbar fusion sits at the high end with failure rates nearing 50 percent. (Incidentally, revision surgeries pay more than the primary surgery.)”

Think about that for a second. Almost half of people who undergo lumbar fusion surgery do not receive sustained (or any) pain relief.

At the same time, one of the largest US studies to date on acupuncture for low back pain just showed it outperforms usual medical care alone (physical therapy, medication, and/or injections).

This isn’t a shock to me, or my colleagues, or my patients. But if you know someone with chronic low back pain, maybe pass along your local acupuncturist’s info.

This randomized clinical trial assesses the effectiveness of acupuncture needling (both a standard course and additional maintenance sessions) for older adults with chronic low back pain.
