Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical technique using needles. A recent study at the University of Regensburg, Bad Abbach, in Germany found that acupuncture is better in healing back pain than drugs and exercise.
German investigators have monitorized 1,162 adults with an average age of 50 who suffered from chronic lower back pain for several years. Individuals were randomly splitted in three groups. One of groups underwent ’sham’ acupuncture that involves needling to a depth of 1-3 mm into the lower back, avoiding known pressure points.
The research team reported health portal News Medical that 48 percent of those in the group treated with acupuncture reported at least one-third less pain and an improvement in functional ability with lasting benefits.
