Back Pain, Sciatica & Mobility
Electrostimulation acupuncture, offered alongside a movement-first approach to help you feel steadier on your feet.
Short-term relief, built around movement
Ongoing back pain rarely stays contained to the back. Poor sleep, low mood, and a growing hesitancy to move are often part of the picture too.
This treatment combines electrostimulation acupuncture — which current guidance recognises can offer short-term, temporary relief for chronic low back pain — with a movement-first philosophy, so a session is never just about the needles.
How this treatment works
Working with tension in the lower back
Tight, tense muscles around the lower back and hips are a common part of ongoing back pain. Fine needles are placed at carefully chosen points, in the way traditional acupuncture has always worked with muscular tension.
- Aims to ease tension in the surrounding muscles
- A calm, unhurried approach to a sensitive area
- Every point selection is tailored to you
Gentle electrical stimulation
A mild electrical current passed between the needles is intended to help calm muscle guarding around the affected area.
- Aims to ease muscle guarding and tension
- A gentle, well-tolerated sensation
- Adjusted to your comfort throughout
Rebuilding confident movement
As the session settles, I talk through safe, guided movement to help rebuild confidence in everyday activity — always alongside, never instead of, your GP or physiotherapist's advice for any diagnosed condition.
- Practical movement guidance you can take home
- A plan shaped around your own pain history
- Encouragement to stay as active as is comfortable
What to expect
Current guidance recognises acupuncture as offering short-term, temporary relief for chronic low back pain — this treatment combines that with practical, everyday support for movement and confidence.
People often come to me for
- Chronic lower back pain
- Stiff hips, pelvis and lower back
- General muscular tension in the back
- Reduced confidence in everyday movement
- Discomfort linked to posture or long working days
Clients often tell me
- Clients often tell me they feel some short-term relief after a session
- A calmer, less guarded feeling in the lower back
- Greater confidence in everyday movement
- A treatment plan that builds gradually alongside your own activity levels
Every case is different, so your session is shaped around your own pain history and daily demands. Sciatica and nerve-related leg pain should always be assessed by your GP or a specialist first — I'm glad to work alongside that care once you've been assessed.
