Our Orthopedic Acupuncture Approach to Back Pain

We use targeted, evidence-informed techniques designed to address the root contributors to your back pain, not just mask the symptoms. Here is how our approach works.

Motor Point Acupuncture

We target specific motor points within the back, hip, and paraspinal muscles to release deep tension patterns contributing to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement along the spine.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger points in the lumbar, thoracic, and gluteal musculature are a common driver of referred back pain. Addressing these directly helps reduce localized tension and the pain patterns that radiate from them.

Sciatic Nerve Support

When back pain involves the sciatic nerve, treatment may address the lumbar spine, piriformis muscle, and gluteal trigger points together to help reduce radiating pain, tingling, and nerve irritation through the leg.

Disc and Joint Care

For disc-related discomfort or joint irritation along the spine, we use gentle, targeted techniques designed to reduce pressure, decrease inflammation in the surrounding soft tissue, and support better mobility.

Postural and Chronic Pain Relief

Back pain from long hours of sitting, repetitive movement, or chronic postural strain responds well to a combination of motor point work, trigger point release, and therapeutic guidance for daily movement habits.

Individualized Treatment Plans

No two patients present the same way. We evaluate your symptoms, movement patterns, pain history, and goals before recommending a course of care so your plan is built specifically for you.
