Acute lower back pain

First Visit

2017. 4.10 Male 40

He strained his lower back after lifting heavy box yesterday. The pain level was 7-8 out of 10.  The pain was mostly in the left side and got worse when he was trying to twist his waist.  There was no shooting pain.

I inserted just one needle in the hand then asked the patient to twist his waist. In less than one minute, the patient told me the pain was mostly gone.
