⚡ What Causes Lumbar Muscle Strain?
The lumbar region (lower back) supports most of your body’s weight, so when it becomes overworked or injured, it easily leads to strain. Common causes include:
- 🪑 Prolonged sitting or poor posture
- 🏋️♀️ Lifting heavy objects incorrectly
- ⚽ Overuse during sports or daily activities
- 😣 Sudden twisting or falling
- 💤 Weak core or poor ergonomic habits
Over time, these factors lead to micro-tears in the muscle fibers and poor blood flow. This is where acupuncture plays a powerful role — by stimulating circulation and relieving tension through natural healing pathways.
🪡 Can Acupuncture Treat Lower Back and Back Pain Effectively?
Yes ✅ — acupuncture is one of the latest and best holistic treatments for lower back pain, recognized both in Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
By inserting fine needles at specific meridian points, acupuncture promotes Qi (energy) flow, reduces inflammation, and releases endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers).
At our akupunkturcenter in Frederiksberg, we customize each session based on the patient’s body constitution and pain pattern. The results are often noticeable after just a few sessions — many patients report better sleep, improved mobility, and reduced pain levels.
🧘♀️ Traditional Chinese Medicine Approaches to Treating Lumbar Muscle Strain with Acupuncture and Massage
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), lumbar pain is often linked to Qi stagnation or cold-damp retention in the lower back. Therefore, our TCM-praksis integrates several therapeutic techniques:
- Acupuncture – to open energy channels and promote natural recovery.
- Cupping Therapy – to relax tight muscles and remove metabolic waste.
- Tui Na Massage – to stimulate deep muscle tissue.
- Heat Therapy (Moxibustion) – to increase blood flow and reduce stiffness.
