Acupuncture for Back Pain in Lewes

Back pain affects how you move, sleep, focus — and live. Whether it’s a sharp twinge, a dull ache, or chronic tension, it can make everyday tasks feel difficult or draining.

In Chinese medicine, pain is seen as a sign that something has become stuck — energy, blood, or even emotion. Acupuncture helps relieve pain by restoring movement in these systems, allowing the body to rebalance and begin healing.

Instead of masking symptoms, treatment works to understand and address what’s behind them.

What Acupuncture Can Help With

In my Lewes clinic, I treat many types of back pain, including:

  • Tight shoulders and upper back from posture or tension

  • Lower back weakness from fatigue or overuse

  • Pain from old injuries or repetitive strain

  • Discomfort linked to menstruation or digestion

  • Back pain that worsens with cold, damp, or stress

Acupuncture works by improving blood flow, relaxing tight muscles, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system — all of which support healing from the inside out.

What to Expect in Treatment

We’ll begin with a conversation about your back pain, your general health, and any other symptoms that may be connected. Chinese diagnosis looks at the full system — not just where it hurts.

Treatment might include:

  • Gentle needling at or near the painful area

  • Points on the arms, legs, or torso to address deeper causes

  • Cupping, heat therapy, or gentle bodywork where appropriate

  • Advice on posture, rest, or supporting areas like sleep and digestion

Most people feel some relief after their first session. Chronic conditions often need a short course of treatments for deeper change.

A Whole-Body Approach to Pain Relief

You’re not just a sore back. Acupuncture supports the whole body to come out of strain and into balance — helping you move with more freedom and less pain over time.
