Abstract
Lumbar degenerative disk disease refers
to a syndrome in which damaged disk causes pain
in the lower back. The causes are multifactorial but
mostly the reason is low energy injury to the disk in
the lumbar area that slowly progresses with time.
The pain can also radiate to the hips and legs.
Statistics say that at least 30% of the people on age
from 30 to 50 have some degree of disc
degeneration. Acupuncture as part of the 5000
years old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can
successfully treat lumbar degenerative disk disease
and hip pain. In this research are included 20
patients, 9 female and 11 male on age from 29 to
79 all diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc
disease and hip pain. All patients were treated in a
clinic for TCM and acupuncture with fire needle
acupuncture on Ashi i.e. Trigger points. 11 patients
were additionally treated with normal needle
acupuncture. Most common age group was from 30
to 40. Most of the patients (16 patients) made 5 or
less than 5 treatments. All patients were
successfully treated and released from the pain in
the low back and hip and all the additional
symptoms were gone. Acupuncture can
significantly improve, balance and correct the flow
of the blood and Qi energy and restore the normal
function of the spine.
