Low back pain that
keeps coming back.
You've tried rest, stretching, PT, maybe injections. It helps, then the pain returns. The muscle responsible has never been treated.

We know why it repeats.
Low back pain builds slowly. You change how you sit, sleep, and move to work around it. Over time other areas start hurting too.
Two methods targeting every layer of low back pain.
Low back pain usually involves tight muscles, irritated nerves, and inflammation, and we treat all of them in the same session.
Resets the pain signal and reduces inflammation
Calms the nervous system pathways that keep low back pain returning. Reduces inflammation and restores normal blood flow.
Releases the trigger points that lock your pattern in place
Low back pain often comes from the deep spinal muscles, glutes, and hip stabilizers, and these are frequently missed. Dry needling reaches and releases them directly.
One releases the pattern.
The other keeps it from coming back.
The American College of Physicians recommends acupuncture as a first-line treatment for chronic low back pain, ahead of medication. The largest study to date (20,827 patients, 39 trials) found benefits lasting 12 months.
"I have been seeing Eugene for almost three years. He has seen me at my lowest with crippling lower back pain. It is truly amazing how far I have come — no more chronic lower back pain. There is absolutely no one else I would ever trust as much. He is extremely knowledgeable and attentive, and his passion for his work is something to be admired."
Common questions about low back pain treatment.
Acupuncture doesn’t treat the disc itself. But most disc-related pain isn’t only coming from the disc. The muscles around it lock up, inflammation builds, and the pain spreads. Acupuncture reduces the inflammation. Dry needling releases the muscles. We address both.
No. Chronic pain takes longer to treat than recent pain, because more compensation has built up in the hips, glutes, and mid-back. The process is the same: find what’s driving the pain, release it, and restore function. Most chronic patients notice meaningful change within two to three visits.
Most acupuncture for low back pain focuses on the area that hurts. Acunatomy goes further by finding where the pain is coming from: muscles in your glutes or hips that no one has looked at. That’s how we get to resolution, not just relief.
Because most low back pain does not come from structures an MRI highlights. Imaging shows discs and bones; it does not show an overactive quadratus lumborum, trigger points in the glutes, or a nervous system holding the area on alert. A clean MRI rules things out; it says nothing about muscular pain, which is treatable.
Recurring episodes usually mean the problem was calmed, not resolved. The flare ends, but the tight tissue and movement compensations remain, so the next long drive or awkward lift sets it off again. Treating the dysfunction between episodes breaks the cycle.
