Dear Guru,
I hope this message finds you well.
Due to lower back problems (spondylolisthesis), I need physiotherapy. I was wondering if your clinics offer acupuncture?
Many thanks for your help.
best,

Hi Eugenie
Yes - all of the clinics offer acupuncture.
In this year's NICE report on low back pain, acupuncture is no longer advised for back pain - and I tend to agree.
You need an active, exercise based program to manage your spondy and not just a passive treatment like acupuncture. Whilst it may give temporary relief it cannot and will not solve your issue.
Hope this makes sense - and I'm sure one of the Physio's will explain this.
The Guru
