Instant Relief from Lower Back Pain with Scalp Acupuncture

Patient, male, 55 years old. He was diagnosed with herniated disk in his lower back in February 2021. A herniated disk is a condition that can occur anywhere along the spine, but most often occurs in the lower back. It is sometimes called a bulging, protruding, or ruptured disk. It is one of the most common causes of lower back pain, as well as leg pain or “sciatica.” The day before he came to the clinic, he encountered severe pain with pain scale of 10/10 after he bent his back and picked up something on the floor. When he walked in the treatment room, the patient had lower back pain with pain scale of 8/10. The acupuncturist Dennis let the patient sit on a chair and provided scalp acupuncture treatment to the patient. The patient felt instant relief from his lower back pain once all needles were inserted. When the patient walked out the treatment, his lower back pain was completely gone and his pain scale went to 0/10 (after the treatment) from 8/10 (before the treatment). This case shows scalp acupuncture is an effective approach at treating a lot of medical conditions.
