# Did you know acupuncture can help relieve you from acute lower back pain?
[Sheila Arambulo,](https://www.squareonephysio.ca/blog/author/sheila_arambulo) 3 November 2016
About 4 out of every 5 Canadians have experienced Lower Back pain at some point of their lives. It is one of the most common reasons for people missing work and seeking medical treatment. Generally, common causes for lower back pain are a sports injury, sprains, back muscle strains or a minor injury. Wrong posture, lifting heavy things incorrectly can also cause lower back pain. With early identification of the problem and taking action accordingly can help lower the consequences significantly.

It is a little-known fact that Acupuncture is a good technique to deal with lower back pain. Often I receive patients in my clinic suffering from lower back pain looking for methods other than taking pain killers. Based on their medical history and doctor’s recommendation, we offer them acupuncture sessions. Acupuncture is an ancient and traditional Chinese practice which involves inserting hair-like thin needles into the patient’s body on certain points. If done correctly by an experienced person, the patient does not feel any pain in this technique.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, there is a flow of energy, called Qi, in the body of an individual. This energy flows through certain channels called meridians. Whenever there is an obstruction to this flow, symptoms like pain are felt. By inserting, the needle on certain points along the meridians, the imbalance of energy is corrected. This relieves the patient of the pain or other symptoms that he/she is suffering from.
According to studies, acupuncture helps in speeding up the relay of electromagnetic signals. They also help in releasing endorphins which help in releasing pain. Acupuncture is also said to improve the immune system of the body.
