Back pain is an increasingly common problem in today’s society. Everything we do, from spending hours in front of a computer to time behind the wheel stalled in traffic, to playing a round of golf every other weekend or so, affects our back from the neck and shoulders all the way down to the lower back and hips. There is little we can do to change our activities, but we can make changes that affect support of the spine and alleviate existing pain.
Most people take aspirin or ibuprofen for back pain. This is one way to treat the problem, but it is not the most effective. It merely masks the symptoms that point to an underlying problem. A better solution is to take care of your back, do some gentle stretches to straighten the spine, and use the Aculife Magnetic Wave Therapist.
The Aculife device works by sending electromagnetic impulses to the affected area through acupoints located on the palm and hand. These are located along the outer edge and center of the palm and on the back of the hand – depending on the area of the back in pain. Because the liver and kidney are associated with the functioning of bones, tendons, and muscles, these organs are also targeted in the Aculife device’s relief mode.
The effect of the electromagnetic impulses is a release of endorphins to alleviate the pain but even deeper than that, it unblocks the flow of energy, or chi. This balancing of the body’s systems is an important principle in acupuncture, acupressure, and the newer form of electromagnetic acupoint therapy. This form of treatment is longer lasting, less invasive, and produces no side effects, unlike other pharmaceutical or physical manipulations.
The best way to impact back pain is to first take care of your back before problems develop. But when pain does occur, consider using a naturopathic form of treatment like Aculife rather than popping analgesics or making an appointment with a doctor or chiropractor.
