No More Back Pain with Acupuncture

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people have to take sick leave and also go and
see a health care provider. It has been estimated that up to 80% of the world's population 
will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. 

One of the top causes of back pain are sprains, caused by overstretching one or more 
ligaments in the back and strains, a rip or a tear in the muscle caused by a sudden force. All 
of these can happen from injury, poor posture and improper lifting. 

Another cause of back pain can be caused from a herniated disc in the spine, which means 
that the disc bulges out from its place between the two vertebrae. And we cannot forget to mention Sciatica which is another form of back pain. You will know you have sciatica when you have pain that radiates down into the buttocks and leg. What is 
happening is a large nerve in the lumbar spine called the sciatic nerve has been irritated. 
This can happen from sprains, strains, herniated discs and even in some cases pregnancy.

So how can Acupuncture help you with your back pain?

The use of acupuncture to treat back pain has increased dramatically in the past few 
decades. This is thanks to placebo-controlled studies that have validated that Acupuncture 
is a reliable method of pain relief. 

The results of a recent study published in the Clinical Journal of Pain provide further proof 
that acupuncture is a safe and effective procedure for low-back pain, and that it can maintain positive outcomes for long periods of time without producing the negative side effects that often accompany more traditional back pain remedies.

In a Swedish hospital study with patients who experienced chronic low back pain, doctors 
concluded that acupuncture provided long term pain relief. They also observed improvement in activity levels, better sleep, and consumption of significantly fewer analgesics for the acupuncture group as compared with the group receiving a placebo 
treatment.

When you attend for a treatment, Acupuncture needles are placed into the skin to stimulate 
pathways that travel through peripheral nerves to the spinal cord and brain. This causes your
body's natural pain killers, called endorphins to increase along with other chemicals in your 
body to change, unblocking trapped energy and restoring its flow.

We would like to offer Meath Coaster readers a 20% discount on their first back treatment. 
This offer is valid for the whole month of September, just mention this article on booking 
your appointment.

As always, if you would like to get relief from your back pain, we'd be happy to tell you more 
and answer any questions you may have.

Go on you deserve to be 
pain free and full of life, so why not give Acupuncture a try!

Saying bless can hardly merely be adequate, for the extraordinary lucidity in your essay. This is bless to placebo-controlled studies that permit validated that Acupuncture is a responsible fashion of agony remedy.

What our Clients have to say....

Karen, Dublin

I’d like to thank Niamh for all her treatment and care during my last pregnancy.  I came to Niamh requesting help to keep my blood pressure down because on my previous pregnancies I was on medication for BP which I wanted to avoid on my third pregnancy.  Niamh treated me on a regular basis and I avoided medication and high BP issues. I also had 2 previous  inductions and I really wanted to avoid a third induction.  Niamh started pre-induction treatment a few weeks before my due date and then worked up to the full induction the week of my due date and I was delighted when I started labour myself 3 days after my due date and baby was born soon after that.  Niamh did a great job and gave me the outcome that I wanted.  I’d highly recommend Niamh because she is friendly, approachable, very professional  and thrives to achieve the best treatment for her clients.

Jane, Bettystown, Co. Meath

I visited Anam Mai Acupuncture for treatment for post natal depression, anxiety and stress, and found it to be extremely effective.

Niamh has a natural caring attitude towards her clients, and a real passion for her career. In this way, she earns your trust and you feel able to put yourself completely in her hands.

For those who have never tried acupuncture, Niamh is always ready to explain what she is doing and how this will be effective. She has clearly been trained very well in her chosen profession, and her love for this shows through.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Niamh and acupuncture to my friends and family. I found that she was able to help me enormously, and I am grateful to her for this

Lisa, Drogheda, Co. Louth

I attended Niamh in Anam Mai Acupuncture throughout my third pregnancy and found the sessions really beneficial. I had never overly been a fan of needles before, but I found that I really looked forward to my treatments with Niamh. Her easy manner and quiet confidence allowed me to relax and leave my stress behind. I found the acupuncture treatments wonderful for blocked sinuses and pregnancy swelling in my legs and ankles. I went for weekly treatments and the last treatment I had was two days before I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy at home after a short and wonderful labour. Thank you Niamh for all your help and support throughout my pregnancy and post-natally!
