Have you ever tried acupuncture ?

I too have chronic pain in my lower back. I had 2 ruptured disc about 5 yrs. ago and it has hurt ever since.

Two weeks ago I got down in my back and couldn't even get out of bed. My boss suggested acupuncture,
she had it done for back problems and she highly reccomended it.

I have had 2 sessions and my back has not hurt since.

FWIW if you have not tried it you may want to. My insurance did not cover it but is was only $50.00 a session and was worth every penny.
