- Acupuncture combined with medications produced positive outcomes in such patients which includes pain reduction, improved daily living activities of a patient.
Acupuncture analgesic points help in alleviating pain to a great extent. Local back points and the corresponding acupuncture points help to relax a patient to a great extent.
