Spinal Problems & Back Pain

Compression Fracture:

A compression fracture occurs when the normal vertebral body of the spine is squished, or compressed, to a smaller height.

Acupuncture as a compression fracture treatment when performed as early as possible has been shown to rapidly improve recovery time and ease back pain significantly. 

Acupuncture stimulates the damaged area of the spine creating naturally occurring steroids encouraging it to repair and producing valuably endorphins in the body. In this natural way the pain of the fractured disc is eased.

Another healing treatment we offer is Spinal Decompression Therapy, a revolutionary treatment offered at Advanced Acupuncture located in Hollywood, Florida. Our experienced therapists use state-of-the-art equipment to provide non-invasive spinal traction therapy that gently stretches and decompresses your spine.
What makes our Spinal Decompression Therapy unique is that it is tailored to fit your unique needs. We offer a personalized approach to treatment, tailored to your specific condition and level of discomfort. Our therapists will work with you to develop a treatment plan that will address your pain points and offer long-term relief.
It is an effective option for those suffering from spinal disc conditions such as herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs. This therapy can also help alleviate pain associated with sciatica, spine stenosis, and facet syndrome. 

Bulging, Herniated, and Degenerated Discs:

You can have a Herniated disc without knowing it. Herniated or bulging discs sometimes show up on spinal images of people who have no symptoms of a disc problem at all.

But some herniated discs can be painful. The most common signs and symptoms of a herniated disc are sciatica, low back pain, numbness and weakness in the legs. The most common signs and symptoms of a herniated disk are:

Sciatica , which is a radiating, aching pain, sometimes with tingling, weakness and numbness, that starts in the buttocks and extends down the back of one leg. It can also settle in the lower back and one leg, or in the neck, shoulder, chest or arm.

Low back pain, which can worsen when you sit, cough or sneeze. It can also include numbness or weakness spreading to one or both legs.

Bladder or bowel dysfunction, including incontinence or difficulty urinating even with a full bladder.

Progressive loss of sensation and loss of movement in areas that would touch a saddle (inner thighs, back of legs and area around the rectum).

Acupuncture can decompress the spine and open the disc spaces to relieve the pain with acupuncture. This does not heal the herniation. With the use of our Energy Machines we can heal the part of the disc that is compressing the nerve. We will make sure that the patient’s whole system is working together, creating balance. If one organ or system has a problem, it could affect blood circulation, not providing enough energy to support the skeletal system. Adjusting and balancing the system is necessary to maintain health.

Pinched Nerve, Neck Pain, and Whiplash:

Acupuncture is generally the most effective and safest treatment for neck pain, especially for whiplash. It relieves the muscle spasms and pain promptly. Most neck problems can be treated by acupuncture in 6 to 12 treatments.

The ultimate goal is relief of pain. Together, with overall relaxation and a sense of well-being, acupuncture enhances the level of pain relief.

Whiplash injury refers to neck injury, resulting from hyperextension followed by flexion that occurs when an occupant of a motor vehicle is hit from behind by another vehicle.

During the strain and sprain, Qi is first shocked, and then moves fast, causing congestion and stagnation. And when Qi stagnates, blood circulation will be impeded and blood will coagulate. When Qi and blood are impaired, body fluid metabolism becomes disordered.

Gradually, the body produces a substance that blocks the meridian circulation. This is why the patient complains of pain and numbness of the neck and extremities. After sprain and injury, blood clots can also form in the body which also impedes the blood circulation. Gradually, it will impair the liver. Sprains lasting for a long time also impair the kidney, leading to liver and kidney insufficiencies that will cause neck soreness, weakness, blurred vision and vertigo. Acupuncture can relieve all of these.
