The common causes of back pain after moxibustion are burns, rheumatism-heat paralysis type back pain and acute stage of lumbar disc herniation.
1. Scald: If the moxa stick stays in the local area for too long during moxibustion or the moxa cones are not replaced in time, resulting in burns on the skin of the lower back, you will feel back pain after moxibustion.
2. Rheumatism-heat paralysis type back pain: if the back pain is caused by rheumatism-heat paralysis, moxibustion not only can not relieve the pain, but also may aggravate the pain due to its warmth.
3. Acute stage of lumbar disc herniation: If moxibustion in the acute stage of lumbar disc herniation, usually can not quickly stop the pain, because the disease progresses faster, moxibustion will still have symptoms of back pain.
If the back pain after moxibustion, must go to the regular hospital to identify the cause of the disease, and actively cooperate with the professional doctor’s treatment.
