- Title
Abdominal Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Case Study.
- Authors
Lorenz, Claudia
- Abstract
This case history demonstrates the successful use of abdominal acupuncture to treat a patient with a long history of chronic low back pain. The immediate analgesic effect of the treatment was a great surprise to the patient, who had suffered from constant pain for many decades and was now pain-free for the first time. In situations where general acupuncture on the low back has been ineffective for cLBP, abdominal acupuncture treatment should be considered. This treatment, based on the methods of Dr. Bo Zhiyun, follows the traditional Chinese medicine principles of ‘treating the back from the abdomen’ and ‘regulating yin to treat yang’.
