I had low back pain so severe it caused me to limp and I could not do many activities that I enjoyed. I had tried many different things for the pain including medications and chiropractic but after I started receiving acupuncture on a regular basis my back pain went away. Now, I receive regular treatments once a month and it regulates my health and stops the pain.
