Acupuncture for Back Pain in Reston, VA

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people come to our Reston clinic — from a stiff low back that will not loosen up to pain that flares with sitting, lifting, or sleeping wrong.

How Acupuncture May Help

• Support muscle relaxation and ease tension in the back and hips.
• Help with stiffness and limited range of motion.
• Support the body's own recovery after strain or overuse.
• Complement exercise, stretching, and physical therapy as part of a broader plan.

The CDC recognizes acupuncture as a nonpharmacologic approach for managing certain types of pain.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your first visit starts with a detailed consultation about your symptoms, medical history, and goals.

Based on that conversation, your practitioner puts together a treatment plan and explains what to expect.

Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and flexible. Most patients feel little to no discomfort when they are inserted.
