Utilization of Reimbursed Acupuncture Therapy for Low Back Pain
In this cross-sectional study, we found that acupuncture utilization among patients with LBP was rare but increased over time. Demographic, socioeconomic, and clinical characteristics were associated with acupuncture utilization, and acupuncture users were more likely to utilize other nonpharmacologic treatments and less likely to utilize pharmacologic treatments.
