Back is killing me — should I try massage therapy or acupuncture?
Aria asked:
I often have pain in my middle/lower back, especially when I’m leaning over for a long period of time. I feel like I have a knot in my shoulder as well. I regularly visit a chiropractor, so I know nothing is out of place.. how can I relieve the pain? Thanks for any help.

definatly massage therapy. It feels good on the spot. Acupuncture hurts and isnt that good on relieving pain. Massage therapy is ur best bet.

I have had both accupuncture and massage several times and both have worked really really well for me. Keep in mind that if you get accupuncture, you’re body will feel sore for a day or two just as if you have had a massage but then afterwards it’s like a miracle. Make sure you drink plenty of water. I personally would do the accupuncture first.

Are you overweight? This is the first thing that comes to mind. If your body is carrying extra weight, there is more strain on your back. So if you are, try exercising regularly and eating a healthier diet. Eat 9-12 servings of fruits and vegetables a day and eliminate processed foods from your diet. No junk food, no soda. You will likely notice a big improvement.
I would also recommend exercising and doing stretches regularly. It would be a good idea to stretch before you get out of bed each morning, particularly if you are over 40. That can really help you strengthen your muscles and avoid fatigue.
Good luck!

You can try massage or acupuncture. but, you have to diagnose what is the reason for pain. how long do you have the pain? o.k. You may have a trigger points (nodules or knot) in your shoulder. your back pain may be caused by, muscle strain, or ligament sprain, or facet joint lock, or spondylosis, or tendinitis, or intervertebral disc prolapse, or abnormal posture, and so on. Acupuncture or massage will relieve your pain only if it is due to the muscle problem. otherwise, it will be the temporary relief. if it is a muscle problem, hot pack application, massage, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, IFT or TENS or WAX therapy and acupuncture will relieve you. if it may due to other causes, you have to take the specific proper treatment. Consult a good physiotherapist and get well soon.
