Hi

For back pain, I recommend Biofeedback; it is scientifically proven that biofeedback can help with chronic pain. At Spiritual Balance, We have FDA-approved Biofeedback systems and Biofeedback Specialists on staff. Also, cold laser works wonders.

Usually with in 4 weeks you may see the difference
It depends. I usually recommend 12 sessions and reassess further treatments.
I have good experiences with back pain weather acute or chronic.
Acupuncture is good for treating chronic back pain, usually, it takes from 4-10 treatments. Chronic back pain can be caused by different problems. Therefore, you need to talk to your acupuncturist to find out the exact number of treatments needed.
My treatments last about an hour.
We start with 6 sessions at 2x a week for 3 weeks. Everyone responses differently to treatment but usually expect you to be 30-40% better by the 6th session. Then we will taper down to every other week, so on and so forth.
Two-three acupuncture treatments is enough.

4 treatments per year of problem
We will exam 1st. Then provide dry needling 1st. Patients will find instant results in general.
Depending on patients’ medical histories and conditions, each patient will have different responses. Patients will have to follow up in 3-7days depending on severity.
Patients will be examined again on how much difference they have experienced since the initial acupuncture treatment.
Then we can give patients a plan for symptomatology.
If we find limitations in improvements, we will apply different plans as a holistic approach.
As every person is different. there's no way I can tell you how long your treatment will be. Get in to see a practitioner and after your intake they may be able to give you a rough idea.
It depends on what is causing your chronic back pain. I encourage you to try acupuncture.
If your back pain is chronic you will need multiple sessions per week for a period of time. Then you can decrease sessions to once a week once it is under control. You need a private consultation to discuss your pain issue.
This is a fair question, and it's one I get a lot - both online and in person. The problem is: I don't know. I can give you some statistical generalities, but these may or may not apply to your specific, individual case. In other words, these are more like guidelines and less of a hard and fast number.

Across multiple studies of acupuncture, there is a very consistent 5% non-response rate. In plain english, this means about 5% of the population do not get any benefit from acupuncture. Obviously, odds are in your favor that you're in the other 95%, but we need to keep the non-response rate in mind over the first 3-5 treatments. If you get 3-4 treatments into a course of therapy and aren't noticing any change to your pain levels, it's possible you're in that 5%.

The 95% who do respond to acupuncture are going to break out along a spectrum of people who respond quickly and people who respond more slowly. I have had many patients whose pain levels were decreased with the insertion of the first few needles - in other words, pain relief is virtually immediate. I've had a lot of patients who notice their pain is decreased by the next day or so after treatment. And I've had patients who couldn't tell anything was changing until after the 2nd or 3rd treatment.

This is why I always tell prospective patients to give acupuncture 3-5 sessions before deciding it's not working. It's entirely possible they're in the slow responder group and need 2-3 treatments to get things moving.

In my experience, people who respond more quickly take less treatment and require less maintenance. People who respond more slowly take more treatment and require more frequent maintenance.
