Acupuncture for Back in Brighton

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment in the UK, affecting over 1 million people at any one time. Whether your pain is sudden or long-standing, acupuncture for back pain in Brighton offers a natural, drug-free option for pain relief and recovery.

Lower back pain is most often caused by:

  • Muscle strains or sprains

  • Minor injuries

  • Postural tension

  • Trapped or irritated nerves (including sciatica)

Acupuncture can support healing by addressing both the pain and the underlying tension patterns that contribute to ongoing discomfort.


How Acupuncture Helps with Back Pain & Sciatica

Research shows that acupuncture is significantly more effective than no treatment and at least as effective as standard medical care for back pain:

(Witt 2006; Haake 2007; Cherkin 2009; Sherman 2009a)

Acupuncture may help by:

  • Stimulating nerves to release natural pain-relieving endorphins

  • Reducing inflammation

  • Easing muscle tightness and spasm

  • Improving circulation

  • Increasing joint mobility

  • Supporting recovery from sciatica and nerve pain

It is especially useful:

  • Alongside conventional medical care

  • For people with more severe symptoms

  • For those wishing to reduce or avoid long-term pain medication

What People Say About Acupuncture With Jo

Seeing Jo was one of the best things I did this year. Acupuncture helped me deal with quite a broad range of things, initially from severe PMT, then morning sickness, lower back pain, headaches and insomnia. At a time when I felt like I couldn’t resolve the problems I had through options from the GP it was great to find an alternative avenue through Jo. I found a remarkable difference in my symptoms really quickly, and always found my visits calming and reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate in going back to Jo, or recommending her treatment to friends.
