Ease Muscle Tension With Acupuncture | Chiropractor in Lubbock, TX
Hello, I’m Dr. Haddock from 1-Spine Chiropractic. Today, I will be demonstrating how acupuncture can effectively alleviate upper back tension and pain, a common complaint among our patients.
Procedure Preparation
To begin, I ensure the treatment area is clean and sterile. I’ll prepare the patient’s upper back by swabbing it with alcohol. This step is crucial for maintaining hygiene before inserting the acupuncture needles.
Needle Placement
Using fine needles, I carefully insert them at specific points across the upper back. These points are strategically chosen to align with the body’s energy meridians, which are pathways that, according to traditional Chinese medicine, facilitate the flow of energy.
Pain Relief and Energy Release
The insertion of these needles aims to unlock and release the energy within these meridians, targeting the tension and discomfort in the muscle tissues. This process not only helps in relieving pain but also enhances the overall flow of energy, preparing the body for further chiropractic adjustments.
Enhanced Stimulation with Electro-Acupuncture
To intensify the treatment’s effectiveness, I utilize an electro-acupuncture pen. This tool allows me to stimulate the acupuncture points more intensely, enhancing the therapeutic response and promoting a quicker recovery.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective method for managing and alleviating pain, particularly when combined with other treatments such as chiropractic adjustments. If you’re experiencing upper back pain or tension, consider acupuncture as a potential solution. At 1-Spine Chiropractic, we are dedicated to providing holistic care tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
