Extreme lower back pain



extreme lower back pain



Immediate relief is possible for extreme lower back pain, from an acute back sprain, with properly administered cold laser therapy or laser acupuncture the natural cure of the new century.

The pain is characterised by a severe, stabbing pain that is tender to touch. The back muscles are rigid and stiff. It is impossible to flex, extend or turn the waist. The application of heat usually doesn’t give any relief.

Laser acupuncture

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) the Energetic Channels passing through the lower back and hip region are the Bladder, the Governor and the Gall bladder Channels.

Pain arises when there is blockage in one or more of these Channels. With a back sprain the blockage is caused by trauma. The TMC expression for this is stagnation of Qi and Blood from sprain. If the attacks are recurrent, an underlying Energetic Kidney deficiency is possibly also present.

The TMC syndrome of Retention of Damp-Cold can also cause severe lower back pain. The pain is worse when the weather is cold and damp. It is relieved with the application of heat. Getting out of bed is difficult and light exercise helps. When the Cold factor is dominant, the pain is more severe and the back muscles contracted. When the Dampness factor is dominant there may be swelling, numbness and a sensation of heaviness.
