Find Relief from Disc Bulges and Facet Joint Pain at Valley Acupuncture and Wellness
If you’ve ever felt that sharp, persistent pain in your back that just won’t go away, you might be dealing with disc bulges or facet joint pain. These conditions are common culprits behind chronic back discomfort and can significantly impact your quality of life. But don’t despair! At Valley Acupuncture and Wellness, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments to help you find relief and get back to enjoying life.
Understanding Disc Bulges and Facet Joint Pain
Disc Bulges
Your spine is composed of vertebrae cushioned by intervertebral discs that act like shock absorbers, allowing your spine to move smoothly. However, when a disc bulges out of its normal position, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, and even weakness in the affected area. This condition, known as a disc bulge, is most common in the lower back and neck.
Facet Joint Pain
Facet joints are small joints located between each vertebra, enabling flexible movement of the spine. When these joints become inflamed or degenerate due to wear and tear, they can cause significant pain and stiffness, a condition known as facet joint pain. This pain is typically localized around the spine but can radiate to other parts of the body, making daily activities challenging.
How Electro Acupuncture Can Help
Electro acupuncture, a modern twist on the ancient practice, has been used for centuries to alleviate various types of pain, including back pain. At Valley Acupuncture and Wellness, we use this advanced therapy to help our patients find relief from disc bulges and facet joint pain.
The Science Behind Electro Acupuncture
Electro acupuncture involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body and then applying a mild electrical current. This current operates at a subsensory level, meaning you won’t feel the shock, but the electrons are still hard at work. This stimulation can release natural pain-relieving chemicals, improve blood flow, and promote healing. For disc bulges and facet joint pain, electro acupuncture can reduce inflammation, relax muscle tension, and enhance overall spinal function.
Personalized Treatment
Every patient’s pain is unique, so we tailor our electro acupuncture treatments to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with acute pain from a recent injury or chronic discomfort from long-term wear and tear, our compassionate care will focus on providing you with the best possible outcomes.
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM): A Modern Approach to Healing
In addition to electro acupuncture, we offer Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy, a cutting-edge treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to promote tissue repair and reduce pain.
How FSM Works
FSM delivers microcurrents to the affected areas, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike TENS units, which only mask pain, FSM aims to heal the tissues causing the pain. This therapy can be particularly effective for conditions like disc bulges and facet joint pain, as it targets the underlying causes of discomfort.
Benefits of FSM
- Reduces Inflammation: FSM can decrease inflammation in the facet joints and surrounding tissues, providing significant pain relief.
- Promotes Tissue Repair: By enhancing cellular activity, FSM helps repair damaged tissues, improving overall spinal health.
- Non-Invasive and Safe: FSM is a gentle, non-invasive therapy with minimal side effects, making it an excellent option for those seeking alternatives to surgery or medication.

Personal Experience: A Testimony of Relief
“I can relate to the pain myself. Once, I had facet joint pain originating from my cervical spine. It radiated down my right arm and affected my radial nerve. I tried massage, chiropractic, and even consulted my primary care doctor, but nothing helped. Then, I turned to FSM. Something in my head told me to treat the facet joints and inflammation there, and finally, the pain went away. So trust me, I know what you’re going through, and I know how effective these treatments can be.”
