Have you battled back pain for years? Does your low back ache? Do your upper shoulders feel like rocks? Do you carry your tension in your back? Have you considered acupuncture for your back pain?

My name is Anita Tadavarthy and I believe I can help you. I am a licensed acupuncturist. I became proficient in treating back pain after treating thousands of rice farmers in India with prolonged back pain.

It is important to note that your back pain exists due to many, many different factors. Your back pain may be due to joint disorders, muscle injury, abnormal changes in the body tissue, and/or complications with intervertebral discs. Upon your first visit with me, I will ask you where your back pain is and what it feels like. Based on your answers, I will provide you with a customized acupuncture treatment for your back pain.

At our clinics, we will work with you to provide you with a long-term solution for your back pain. We are able to do this because patients often report that their back pain decreases in intensity once the acupuncture needles are placed in their body. As this happens, it just means that you are responding well to the acupuncture treatment that we have designed for you. If you do not feel the back pain decrease right away, do not feel alarmed. Some patients report that it takes a few days or a few different acupuncture treatments for it to kick in. Regardless, once we determine your rate of response, we can custom design a acupuncture treatment program for you to get rid of your back pain. Please note that if you do not respond within 6-7 treatments, then we will advise you to seek the care of your MD. If you do not have a MD that you are comfortable with, we can refer one to you.

At our clinics, we will also teach you self-care techniques for your back pain. We will teach you breathing exercises. In addition, we will offer you dietary and herbal advice as well as show you when and how to use cold/hot compresses.

Acupuncture is a therapy and we must use it as a therapy to gradually decrease your back pain. We want to work with you to find a long-term solution for your back pain.
