Acupuncture looks effective for lower back pain
“A study suggests that traditional acupuncture can bring significant benefit to those with lower back pain.
Lower back pain is common. In the UK, around 16 per cent of the population will consult their family doctor about lower back pain during a year. Two per cent of adults say they try acupuncture for a range of conditions, including lower back pain. But the evidence on its effectiveness has been unclear, so researchers studied a group of 241 patients aged 18 to 65 referred to them by British Acupuncture Council practitioners. All had persistent lower back pain.”
