Having a chronic neck and/ or back issues? Have you been diagnosed by your doctor to have arthritis of the neck or lower back? The bad news is that you are most likely to suffer from spinal stenosis. The good news? The treatment techniques incorporated from Fast Relief Acupuncture can help relieve many of the symptoms in a safe, natural, and effective method. But first, let’s take a look at what spinal stenosis is.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces of the spine, where it can put pressure on the nerves that comes out of the spine commonly seen in the lower back and the neck. Some people with may not have symptoms while others may experience pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness and can worsen over time. Typically, people who display ‘forward flexed’ or ‘hunched forward’ postures of the neck and the torso are the ones who most likely suffer from stenosis. A surefire way to diagnosis someone with this condition is to ask if they feel pain relief when the person leans or bends forward on the lower back or the neck. You can see this at a supermarket when people, usually the elderly, lean forward on their shopping carts while they are moving.
The most common cause of stenosis is wear-and-tear changes in the spine column related to osteoarthritis. If the spinal stenosis is severe, surgery is recommended to create additional space for the spinal cord or the accompanying nerves.
The two main types of spinal stenosis are:
- Cervical stenosis: The narrowing occurs in the part of the spine in your neck.
- Lumbar stenosis: The narrowing occurs in the part of the spine in your lower back where it is the most common.

Hi,
My Name is John Kim
I have been a licensed acupuncturist since 2000. When I first started my acupuncture career, my primary goal as a practitioner was to help people anguishing from living with pain everyday of their lives. I have seen on numerous occasions what chronic pain can do to a person physically but also seen how it can debilitate a person’s psyche as well.
Throughout the years, I have studied, developed and incorporated a very unique treatment protocol that has successfully treated and effectively reduced pain levels on chronic pain patients. I have combined traditional methods of acupuncture along with modern, research proven techniques to help reduce chronic pain symptoms in a safe, non- chemically addictive, and effective process.
