Acupuncture Cumbria specialise in back pain treatment.  In 2009 the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended acupuncture as one of the treatments of choice for patients with persistent, non-specific lower back pain. It also decided that acupuncture should be made available on the N.H.S. for chronic lower back pain. 

Acupuncture is a safe treatment choice for low-back pain sufferers as it has no negative side-effects.  It is also increasingly recognised as a powerful analgesic.

Several medical and scientific bodies are in agreement that acupuncture can have a significant effect on back pain, some of the reports can be found by clicking the links below:
