From persistent headaches to muscle weakness, chronic back pain can impact every part of your body and disrupt your life. Marie A. Gonzales, L.Ac., believes people who are seeking relief should make acupuncture part of their pain management plan. Based in Nyack, NY, this experienced acupuncturist knows the holistic treatment has many of the benefits of prescription medication without the side effects or risk of dependency.  

If chronic back pain is affecting your life, there are three ways acupuncture provides natural relief:

  • acupuncture Nyack NYStimulates the Central Nervous System: The throbbing or dull feeling in your back is caused by a series of signals sent from the brain to nerve fibers in the spinal cord. Acupuncture relies on fine needles being placed in targeted areas to help stimulate the central nervous system. This complex network, which controls sensation, delivers a natural supply of pain-reducing endorphins to the spinal column, brain, and muscles. 
  • Releases Immune System Cells: Many people end up with chronic back pain due to bacterial infections caused by herniated discs. Acupuncture speeds up your natural healing process by sending electromagnetic signals through the body. The treatment encourages the release of T-cells in the immune system, which are effective at fighting infections and alleviating pain. 
  • Adjusts Brain Chemistry: Acupuncture is designed to repair the uneven flow of energy in your body. It does this by fine-tuning the levels of two chemicals in the brain that impact your perception of pain signals. The treatment increases the flow of neurotransmitters, which help block the nerve spasms that send shooting pain through your back. Neurohormone production is also increased, reducing your ability to feel pain signals.
