First visit $95, 75 minutes
Most lower back pain is mechanical: tight, guarded muscles and irritated joints. Acupuncture can help calm the muscles and the pain signals so you can move and sleep again.
What it feels like
A dull ache across the belt line, stiffness getting out of bed, a catch when you bend or lift.
How we help
Fine needles in the low back, hips and legs, often with gentle electrical stimulation, and cupping for tight muscles.
Two or three movements to do at home, and a re-check every fourth visit.
Common questions
Is acupuncture an option for back pain? US clinical guidelines list acupuncture as an option for chronic low back pain.
Will insurance cover it? Many plans cover acupuncture for back pain. Jordan checks before your first visit.
