Acupuncture is effective in treating low back pain, but it also depends on the situation. First of all, we must rule out the pain caused by diseases such as malignant tumors. The most effective treatment of low back pain by acupuncture is the pain caused by lumbar muscle strain or lumbar disc herniation. Sticking to acupuncture treatment can relieve low back pain very well, generally 15 to 20 days can be effective. Of course, lumbar aging, degenerative diseases and acute lumbar sprain will also have an impact. In the process of acupuncture, we should actively cooperate with the treatment, do not do strenuous exercise, limit exercise for at least 2-3 days, and have adequate rest. When necessary, muscle corrosion inhibitors and painkillers can be used for symptomatic treatment, and after syndrome differentiation and treatment, drugs that promote qi and blood circulation, remove blood stasis and dredge collaterals can be taken for comprehensive treatment. In addition, acupuncture can also be combined with moxibustion, massage, ultrashort wave, intermediate frequency, medicated wine rubbing, ointment sticking and so on. In order to achieve a better therapeutic effect.
