Research carried out in 2002 indicated that almost 80% of the world’s population would suffer from some kind of back pain with lower back pain being the most common type. In addition to the high rate of incidence, back pain is also known to have a high rate of recurrence in patients. With patients trying everything from over the counter painkillers to physiotherapy to gain relief from back pain, Acupuncture comes as a welcome change.
In addition to weight loss, acupuncture often treats irregular bowel movements, irregular menstrual flow, mood swings, PMS, tiredness and fatigue, toxic build up in the blood and other related symptoms and causes of obesity.
