Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is a common issue that can arise from various causes, each with distinct symptoms:

1. Muscle Strain: Often caused by overuse or sudden movements, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

2. Herniated Disc: When a disc between the vertebrae ruptures, it can press on nerves, causing sharp pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs.

3. Sciatica: Compression of the sciatic nerve results in radiating pain from the lower back down to the legs, often accompanied by tingling or burning sensations.

4. Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can lead to nerve compression, causing pain, cramping, and weakness in the lower back and legs.

5. Arthritis: Degeneration of the spine's joints can result in chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility.

6. Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: Inflammation or dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint can cause pain in the lower back and buttocks.

7. Lumbosacral Fasciitis: Inflammation of the connective tissues in the lower back leads to deep, aching pain and stiffness.

8. Acute Lumbar Sprain: Sudden injury or strain to the lower back muscles and ligaments results in sharp pain, swelling, and muscle spasms.

Acupuncture has proven effective in treating these conditions by promoting natural healing processes, reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow. It helps alleviate pain and restore function, offering a safe and holistic approach to managing lower back pain.
