Always glad to see evidence-based support for acupuncture’s role in treating low back pain - the most common musculoskeletal complaint. There are SO many non-surgical strategies for healing!
The WHO has released a 244-page document that “provides evidence-based recommendations on nonsurgical interventions for chronic primary LBP in adults” that will improve outcomes.
✅Acupuncture is among the interventions the guideline recommends for all adults.
✅NSAIDs continue to be the only recommended pharmacotherapy.
✅Exercise, massage and spinal manipulation are also recommended.
