Millions of pounds are being wasted by the NHS on ineffective treatments for back pain. From among 200 treatments and devices claimed to help a bad back, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice) has passed judgement on what is actually effective.
X-rays, ultrasound and steroid injections are out and osteopathy, chiropractic and "needling" are in, it says.
The new guidelines mark a watershed in the treatment of the condition and for Nice itself. It is the first time that the institute has issued a positive recommendation that the NHS provide, and pay for, alternative therapies.
At dr Hong’s Clinic, clients have been successfully treated using single and multiple combinations of TCM treatmnets for back pain since the clinic opened - see Testimonials.
It has taken the West a long time to percieve the values of Eastern Medicine and it’s high success rates!
