I believe acupuncture will /could help you. I’ve used acupuncture for my lower back years back, and now for muscle spasms in my shoulder& rib area. I believe it works if you find a licensed acupuncturist. Mine studies in China and is a dr of acupuncture. Good luck & bless

I have severe spinal stenosis and cannot do surgery so the best thing I can do for it is stretching that lumbar out by bringing my knees up to my chest . That will work for a while I haven’t tried acupuncture but I think I might try it. Someone told me Medicare will pay now but I haven’t checked about that part I will be interesting in knowing if it helps you

Gracias for your info. Medicare will cover only under certain stipulations.
We have a highly regarded Chinese acupuncturist in our town. Our daughter went to him for neck and back pain, and she did get relief.
I'm not keen on any needles into my spine, where I have bulging discs and pinched nerves. My pain management doctor has not suggested it.
I will be seeing a spine specialist for analysis of what has been termed "serious conditions" by my neurologist.
It's wonderful that it worked out for your back issues.👍🏼
