I have L4, L5 discs that are herniated/buldging.

Do you recommend acupuncture for pain relief?

How was/is your experience with acupuncture and lower back pain?

Yes, by placing pressure on certain points on your body-points used in acupressure- the Chinese believe you unblock the flow of vital energy or qi (pronounced chee). Depending on the source of the problem, acupressure could lower back pain by up to 75 percent and acupuncture tends to bring instant and complete relief for acute back pain. But if back pain strikes suddenly, you're probably not going to be anywhere near an acupuncturist, so acupressure is best for a quick fix. A single application of pressure in the right spot can dissolve away the pain in only seconds. And good luck.

I would certainly recommend it along with a program of physical therapy. The needles are not painful and you should feel no aftermath from the treatment. The needles are going to help to relax the muscles that have been affected and that will bring relief. The treatment will not affect the underlying cause of the problem and therefore the physical therapy treatment. The combination is usually excellent in resolving the pain and dysfunction that are present.

I had acupuncture in the leg, and it actually does make it feel better.

I had acupuncture for a bad neck and I can't say that it helped me at all plus I hated lying there with all the needles stuck in me,
