Acupuncture for Back and Neck Pain: Natural Relief at Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers
Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons patients seek medical care, especially when chronic discomfort interferes with daily life. At Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach to pain management—including acupuncture, a time-tested, drug-free option that is gaining recognition for its effectiveness.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues. This stimulation may enhance the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms and promote healing.
Acupuncture is widely used today to treat various types of pain, including chronic back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more.
How Does Acupuncture Work for Pain?
Acupuncture is thought to relieve pain by:
Releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
Reducing inflammation in the muscles and joints
Improving blood flow to painful or injured areas
Interrupting pain signals sent to the brain
These effects make it a beneficial treatment option for patients experiencing persistent neck stiffness, lower back pain, herniated disc discomfort, or whiplash symptoms following an accident.

Is Acupuncture Effective for Neck and Back Pain?

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session
A typical session lasts between 30–60 minutes. Most patients feel relaxed and experience little to no discomfort from the needles. For best results, a series of sessions is often recommended based on the severity and chronicity of your pain.
