    Quae recusandae Occ

    1 in 10 people will suffer from some type of back pain. We are living in a very sedentary lifestyle. We spend hours in front of a computer, cellphone or playing video games. There are studies out there that says at least 80% of adults will experience back pain at some time in their lives. Here at Platinum Chiropractic, we want to provide you with a variety of tools to help you battle your back pain. For some people a simple adjustment is more than enough. For others additional tools are necessary.

    One of our favorite tools here at Platinum Chiropractic is acupuncture. Acupuncture can help with pain control, decrease muscle tension and improvement of range of motion. Many studies have shown great results when using acupuncture for back pain. Here at Platinum Chiropractic, we have seen great results when we combine chiropractic care (manual manipulation) and acupuncture. Acupuncture has no major side effects, and it is safer than many other alternatives or treatment modalities.

    Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system. With that stimulation our body releases pain-relieving chemicals into our spinal cord, muscles and brain. Studies haves shown these neurotransmitters can stimulate nerve impulses and can help make modifications of the brain chemistry. We accomplish that by, inserting very thin needles in specific points of the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes pain is caused by a block of our energy. The purpose of the needles is to remove that blockage and allow the natural flow of energy (Qi) throughout the entire body.

    Acupuncture has been going around for over 3,000 years. If western medicine has not been able to disprove the benefits of acupuncture is because acupuncture actually works.
