7 Effective Acupuncture Methods for Treating Back Pain

The article from Thuận Đức General Clinic introduces seven acupuncture methods that effectively treat back pain:

1. Traditional Acupuncture: Inserting needles into specific acupoints to relieve pain and improve circulation.

2. Electroacupuncture: Combining acupuncture with mild electrical currents to enhance pain relief.

3. Injection Acupuncture (Hydro-acupuncture): Injecting medication into acupoints to enhance therapeutic effects.

4. Moxibustion: Using heat from burning mugwort (moxa) to stimulate acupoints and reduce pain.

5. Laser Acupuncture: Using laser beams to stimulate acupoints instead of traditional needles.

6. Massage & Acupressure: Combining acupuncture with massage and acupressure to relax muscles and relieve pain.

Each method has its own mechanism and application, depending on the cause and severity of back pain. Choosing the right method should be done by an experienced specialist to ensure safety and effectiveness.
