When there are symptoms of low back pain, you should pay attention to rest. If the symptoms do not improve, you should treat them as soon as possible. Moxibustion has a very good effect on treating low back pain. Today, I will introduce you to the acupoints where low back pain can be moxibustion:
1, Shenshu point: The specific location of Shenshu point is under the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra at the waist, and it opens sideways 1.5 inch. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Shenshu point is located at the waist, and proper moxibustion at Shenshu point can increase the local and internal blood flow of the kidney, thus improving renal function. If the kidney has a strong function, it can play a better role in maintaining the innate foundation and ensure that the human body is full of energy, thus achieving the effects of preventing and treating various diseases, delaying aging and maintaining health.
2, Yaoyangguan point: This point is also at the waist, and there is no depression under the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra in the middle line of the back. Moxibustion at Yaoyangguan point has the functions of strengthening yang and tonifying kidney, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dispelling cold and removing dampness, and can also indirectly treat low back pain. Secondly, there are veins and eight-claw reflex zones in the waist, and proper moxibustion at Yangguan point in the waist can also play a warming and conditioning role in gynecology.
3. Weizhong point: Weizhong point is an important point for the treatment of low back pain, which is located between the biceps femoris tendon and semitendinosus tendon at the midpoint of popliteal transverse stripes. Moxibustion at this point can play a good role in removing blood stasis, promoting blood circulation, relaxing muscles and tendons, and clearing away heat and toxic materials.
4. Patients with low back pain should pay attention to choosing the correct moxibustion method after choosing moxibustion points. Specific method: light one end of the moxa stick and smoke it at a distance of 2-3 cm from the skin of the acupoint. It is best to have a warm feeling locally. Moxibustion can be continued for 20-30 minutes each time until the skin turns red.
