Yes, acupuncture can help alleviate lower back pain and release stress.
Yes
Definitely. Instant result!
Yes, acupuncture is awesome at not only relieving back pain but, also at helping to alleviate stress! I treat lots of patients with low back pain from work stress and I get amazing results. Two of my patients come in in agony and feel so great after that they forget to take it easy and they go out and do heavy yard work the next day and have to come back in because they over did it and are in pain again.

Yes, definitely. Acupuncture is effective for both stress and back pain. It is one of the most frequently treated symptoms. In my clinic, we alleviate your pain and teach you stress reduction and postural exercises to minimize back pain. We teach you how to take care of yourself to prevent future recurrences of back pain.
Absolutely!
Acupuncture can help back pain by:
1. providing pain relief – by stimulating nerves located in muscles and other tissues, acupuncture leads to release of endorphins and other neuro-humoral factors and changes the processing of pain in the brain and spinal cord.
reducing inflammation – by promoting release of vascular and immuno-modulatory factors
2. improving muscle stiffness and joint mobility – by increasing local microcirculation which aids dispersal of swelling and bruising.
3. reducing the use of medication for back complaints
4. providing a more cost-effective treatment over a longer period of time
5. improving the outcome when added to conventional treatments such as rehabilitation exercises

Yes... one of acupuncture's strengths is in addressing back pain, both from trauma as well as from aging-related factors.
Yes, absolutely acupuncture can eliminate back pain, especially if this is due to an excess condition or injury. In other cases, it might not be so simple. Certainly acupuncture can help calm your sympathetic nervous system and reduce pain caused by stress much more easily though.

Acupuncture is very well-known for good pain management.
Back pain is relatively easy to resolve with acupuncture, however, because it is related to work, you may need to return occasionally to maintain - unless you want to quit your job ;) .

Hello! It’s interesting that you link your low back to work stress! This is a direct connection in eastern medicine but is not necessarily connected at all in western medicine. Yes, without seeing you in person, I can’t say for sure, but if your own assessment is correct, acupuncture would be very effective in this pattern. It would naturally increase the serotonin and dopamine levels, making you happier and more relaxed, and strengthen the kidney energy to support the low back. It’s also beneficial in this case to make sure you’re getting adequate sleep and 1-2 gallons of non carbonated water per day. You will find you handle your stress much easier with acupuncture, sleep and proper hydration.
Yes, acupuncture is very effective at providing relief from low back pain. It can also help you manage the stress that you're experiencing at work. Many people who have regular acupuncture report that it helps them relax, sleep better, feel more balanced, and have a greater sense of well-being.
Yes!!! Acupuncture is great for low back pain!
Absolutely! One of the things acupuncture is best known for helping is low back pain. I certainly treat it all the time. And my favorite thing to treat is stress and the problems that come with that because acupuncture works so well for it. So yes, don't walk, run to your nearest acupuncturist, and start feeling better today!
P.S. And yes, acupuncture will make you feel better in general because it's about balancing your body's energies and that will help everything.

I like to say that Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can treat "anything you'd go see your doctor for". Except, of course, for major emergency stuff.
I treat back pain on a regular basis, especially stress related pain is easily treatable. There will be residual recurrence, since it is work related, but if you go consistently, you should be able to work more with less pain in time.

Absolutely. Acupuncture is great for most varieties of back pain. The Germans did a great study that says acupuncture is effective at a 20% higher rate than conventional medicine.

Acupuncture is an excellent treatment for both low back pain and work stress.
Lower back pain (acute or chronic) is the number one pain conditions that people seek help with acupuncture. This is what the National Institute of Health, USA said:
For Low-Back Pain
A 2012 analysis of data on participants in acupuncture studies looked at back and neck pain together and found that actual acupuncture was more helpful than either no acupuncture or simulated acupuncture.
A 2010 review by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality found that acupuncture relieved low-back pain immediately after treatment but not over longer periods of time.
A 2008 systematic review of studies on acupuncture for low-back pain found strong evidence that combining acupuncture with usual care helps more than usual care alone. The same review also found strong evidence that there is no difference between the effects of actual and simulated acupuncture in people with low-back pain.
Clinical practice guidelines issued by the American Pain Society and the American College of Physicians in 2007 recommend acupuncture as one of several nondrug approaches physicians should consider when patients with chronic low-back pain do not respond to self-care (practices that people can do by themselves, such as remaining active, applying heat, and taking pain-relieving medications).

Hi there,
Acupuncture has been used to help with a number of pain-related illness, including work stress related back pain. That being said, the success of an acupuncture treatment depends on the type/state of the individual's condition as well as how willing they are to make some changes to their lifestyle habits that may be influencing their pain. It is definitely worth
trying.
I hope this answer helps!
