What makes acupuncture for back pain so effective at The Redwood Clinic? First of all, it starts with a thorough history and examination. Many other offices and

insurance plans allow only enough time for a cursory review. And, many others do not have the expertise to evaluate back pain problems properly. Especially when the dictates of payment schedules give a doctor no more than a couple of minutes to do the exam. Sorry, but so much is missed with the simplistic exams many offices do because they lack the thorough training and expertise that Dr. Jay has. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is true. There are so many reasons for back pain to occur, and to simply say it is a “bladder meridian” problem is a short change and is almost as symbolic as simply labelling the back pain as “sciatica.” Dr. Jay goes into greater discussion on some of the major causes in his introduction to acupuncture and back pain lecture found on youtube.

A recent newsletter from a my respected Chiropractic colleague, Dr. Rob Davison, noted a physician report on guidelines for treating low back pain. Of course, at The Redwood Clinic, Dr. Jay has treated patients with low back pain for decades successfully. What does the American College of Physicians say about their guidelines on Acupuncture Low Back Pain Berkeley Oakland San Francisco.

The American College of Physicians (ACP) recently released brand-new guidelines regarding treatment for low back pain. The Annals of Internal Medicine published the ACP’s updated guidelines, which are based on a “systematic review of the evidence.” This means that a variety of studies were reviewed that examined the effectiveness of both non-drug and drug-based low back pain treatments. Overwhelmingly, non-drug treatments came out ahead. The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) fully backs these new recommendations, as chiropractic champions treatments without drugs and conservative approaches to back pain.

Likewise, the guidelines recommend trying treatments like acupuncture, massage, heat therapy, and others for relief. If these don’t work, then patients can try treatments like muscle relaxants or over-the-counter pain medication, like ibuprofen. For patients who still have pain after trying all of the above, prescription drugs like opioids should only be used as a final measure. The reason is that opioids are notorious for being highly addictive and come with a risk of overdose – negatives which make them highly undesirable and to be used in extreme cases as a last resort option. As the ACA notes, the ACP’s guidelines push the current in the right direction, as chiropractic has been proven effective for a wide array of bodily pain. Common treatments include spinal manipulation, physical therapy, and a combination of healthy diet and lifestyle changes
