Beating back pain with acupuncture 07 October 2010
Published:2010-10-27
Back pain is the UK’s leading cause of disability, affecting an estimated 1.1 million people* in the UK, and one of the main reasons for work-related sickness absence. Many people will suffer from low back pain at some time in their lives. It can be caused by minor injuries such as muscle strains and sprains, pregnancy, stress or poor sleep. The good news for sufferers is that last year’s announcement by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Research (NICE) recommending acupuncture for low back pain, means that patients with persistent pain can now receive acupuncture treatment from a British Acupuncture Council registered acupuncturist on the NHS.
