On your initial visit I will gain a clear understanding from you about your goals of treatment.
These may be to reduce pain, recover from an injury, manage a disease, etc.
These goals will guide our treatment plan and give us a clear direction.

The first is the Acute Care phase when most symptoms are addressed and resolved.
Treatments are scheduled 2-3 times per week to obtain the quickest and most dramatic changes.
Next is the Maintenance Care phase when we continue to maintain the progress we have achieved in the Acute Care phase and support the body as we continue to challenge it.
Treatments are tapered down to once a week, once every other week and so on until we have determined the ideal length of time between treatments while still maintaining the results.

Acupuncture can treat a wide variety of causes of back pain.
Bulging discs, strained muscles, back spasms, nerve inflammation, can all benefit from acupuncture and/or Chinese herbs.
Often times treatment of the back involves both acupuncture and cupping to strongly circulate the blood and relax the muscles.
Self-care in the form of hand acupressure may be given to help extend the results of treatment and provide the patient with tools to manage their pain on their own.
In Chinese medicine the strength of the back is related to the kidneys which are weakened by overwork, too much sex, inactivity, and a poor diet.
