AIAITIE regulates Back pain/Lumbar disc (slipped disc), sciatica
“I have had intermittent lower back pain since 2009. During this time, I have seen my doctor a few times, and the recommended treatments were mainly physical therapy and over-the-counter medications (Advil, Motrin, etc.). I have tried these treatments with limited success. Sometimes, the back pain begins with a minor bending action, lifting something carelessly, or the initial cause of the pain is unclear. In the past, the back pain often lingered for 3 to 6 weeks or even longer. Recently, when the lower back pain occurs, I have had it treated with AIAITIE Moxibustion. After a couple of treatments the pain significantly subsides and I am back to normal . Also, since I have been treating the back pain with AIAITIE Moxibustion, it re-occurs far less frequently than before.
Regarding lower back pain, AIAITIE Moxibustion is a reliable treatment, and it is easily to learn and apply. The acupuncture points for treating the back pain are not difficult to find. The AIAITIE Moxibustion can be applied to the areas where the pain is felt. In fact, AIAITIE Moxibustion should be applied directly to the spots where the back pain is the most severe.”~Chris
Back pain and Lumbar disc(slipped discs)are common health problems. According to traditional Chinese medicine, back pain develops because of cold and wet pathogens have entered the body and obstructed the free flow of blood and Qi within the meridians, and this causes the inflammation and pain. In order to relieve the pain and dispel the inflammation, the meridians must be cleared. However, the inflammation and pain in these areas are not easily dispelled. To treat the inflammation and pain, AIAITIE Moxibustion is first applied directly on the most painful points on the patient’s back .The heat and medicine from Moxibustion will gradually warm and clear meridians, improve the circulation in the surrounding tissue, and increase metabolism. AIAITIE Moxibustion also produces a cupping effect, which generates negative pressure that pulls pathogens out through the pores in the skin. Overall, the result is that the cause of the inflammation extracted or dispelled. Thus, AIAITIE Moxibustion can be very effective in treating back pain and slipped discs.
In a case similar to Chris’, AIAITIE Moxibustion therapy is applied on the acupuncture points around the back, and the heat and medicine of moxa from the Moxibustion enters the body, and then activates Yang Qi energy, which clears all obstructions in the meridians around the disease. With the Qi and blood flowing freely, the inflammation and pain are reduced or even eliminated.
How to treat Back pain/lumbar disc (slipped discs), sciatica with AIAITIE Moxibustion?
1) Treat the Ashi acupuncture points. Find the points with the most pain on the patient’s back, and then use AIAITIE moxibustion directly on these points.
For sciatica, there are many causes of sciatica, but the most important cause is the degeneration or lumbar disc, which presses the nerve line and causes pain.Therefore, the way to regulating sciatica is as same as lumbar disc (slipped disc). Find the points with the most painful, and then use AIAITIE moxibustion directly on these points.
2) Treat the leg acupuncture points. Apart from the Ashi acupuncture points, the patient may also need to apply AIAITIE moxibustion on the leg acupuncture points: ZUSANLI, Taixi,San Yin Jiao, taicong, and rongquan.
