LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain means pain in the lower lumbar, lumbosacral,
or sacroiliac regions possibly accompanied by pain radiating
down one or both buttocks and legs. Low back pain is one of
the most common complaints. It is present in at least 50%
millions of hours lost from work and more millions of dollars
spent on treatment and medication. Low back pain may be
either acute or chronic. It can be simply annoying or irritating
or it can produce unbearable physical and emotional
suffering.
In Western medicine, acute low back pain is treated with
rest, local heat, massage, oral analgesics, and muscle
relaxants. Chronic low back pain is treated by weight loss,
exercise, orally administered and intramuscularly injected
analgesics, and surgery.
The National Institute of Health states that acupuncture may
be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable
alternative or be included in a comprehensive management
program. Low back pain, joint pain, and soft tissue injury are
the most common complaints treated in an acupuncture
clinic.

TESTIMONIAL
joints were “off,” giving me discomfort, which increased a lot after affecting my daily activities. I don’t use medicine, but I was walking, doing therapies…. It alleviated but the pain started coming and going and getting stronger each time. My energy was low, I felt tired, hot flashes were bothering me and lately the strong pain was constant… no break day and night. I started acupuncture, herbs intake, and nutrition changes 2 months ago. The very next morning of my 1st session, my energy was back “with interests.” I was able to do things at home that I had been postponing for a long time and was not even relating to my session with Dr. Lee at all, until some days later, when other differences could be noticed. People started telling me that I was “glowing” and happier. And it was true. The next weekly sessions brought me a sense of wellness and happiness that I was not used to anymore. Now I’ve been having sessions every other week and keep doing the herbs and the nutrition changes as well, which I intend to incorporate into my lifestyle! Thank you Dr. Lee for being such a gift to all of us, doing your alchemy towards healing the world; one being at a time. Katia F |
at least 36 weeks have passed. I had to be careful during my third trimester because the placenta is located too low in my uterus. I had lower back pain which started 2 months ago. Since two days before acupuncture I had constant uterine contractions which the medications helped a little. After three acupuncture sessions, I had no more contractions. My gynecologist says the placenta is placed firmly and expected to have normal birth. My lower back pain is much better. Sarah Z. |
I had a constant burning sensation in the bladder, especially during urination. It began about two years ago and has been very uncomfortable since then. I was waking up 10 to 12 times a night to urinate. During the day, the pain was often unbearable. In my first acupuncture, I felt the pain going improvement has been truly amazing. I have been coming about one month and half now. The burning pain is very minimal and I only get up about 3-4 times a night. were also getting better. Often, I forget to use a cane and people at meetings are surprised that I am walking around without a cane. I was taking allergy pills every day. Now my is I was very surprised that my truly lowamazing and wonderful that I can live comfortably. Coming here made a difference of night and day. |
I came in with symptoms of depression, neck pain, back pain, and just a general sense of “imbalance” with all areas in my life; professionally, personally, mentally, and spiritually. Prior to my first visit, I had been on anti-depressants on and off for 8 years, and I have never felt they were completely effective, rather just put a “bandaid” on my mental well-being. AFTER: After a month of acupuncture treatment, my depression has subsided and my general sense of well-being has dramatically improved. Further, I completely feel better (mentally) without the need for anti-depressants! My neck pain has improved much as well. The “holistic” approach of acupuncture has affected all other areas of my life, and I feel more balanced, focused, and calm! |
my neck and lower back for some time. Looking for an alternative to other pain management/control remedies I’ve utilized before, and at the suggestion of colleagues who had successfully used acupuncture for similar ailments, I decided to see what acupuncture could do for me. I was very pleasantly surprised with the results of my first treatment as the pain relief was almost immediate. Not only did each subsequent visit aid in further alleviating the ache in my neck and back, it promoted a sense of well being and reduction of stress. I have been extremely satisfied with the results of these treatments and give acupuncture a resounding endorsement. Bob K. |
