Acupuncture: Request a physician referral

A number of studies suggest that acupuncture, an aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine, may work particularly well for those with chronic pain such as back and neck pain, osteoarthritis/knee pain, and headaches including migraines. Neither Medicaid nor Medicare covers acupuncture, but some insurance companies do. Ask your Pacific Sports & Spine doctor how acupuncture may benefit you.

Chiropractic Care: Request a physician referral

Chiropractors use a variety of non-surgical treatments, such as spinal manipulation, to address chronic pain symptoms. Chiropractors can work on inflammation and muscle tension. Various chiropractic care treatments may help you manage acute or chronic pain caused by a neck pain or back pain condition, such as a herniated disc.
