Single point electroacupuncture therapy for lumbar disc herniation

Lumbar disc herniation is still recognized as one of the common and difficult to treat diseases in orthopedics and traumatology. The pathological mechanism of this disease is complex, and it is characterized by great pain of patients, extensive involvement of people, high recurrence rate and high consumption of medical resources, which is a thorny problem that has long troubled both doctors and patients. Since its application in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Shuguang Hospital in 2003, “single point electro-acupuncture therapy for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation” has gradually achieved satisfactory clinical efficacy, with a total of nearly 1,000 people recovered and a total efficiency of over 90%. The treatment is inherited from the clinical practice of old Chinese medicine practitioners for many years, in which the name of the main acupuncture point “lumbar protrusion point”, its positioning and acupuncture method are original, and the method of acupuncture is in line with the traditional acupuncture “pain as the loser” “near to take The acupuncture point name, localization and acupuncture method are original, and the method of acupuncture is in accordance with the “proximity” principle of traditional acupuncture, which is “pain is the losing point”, and the “same nerve segment acupuncture” principle of acupuncture for pain relief. Over the years, we have learned that this therapy has fewer acupuncture points, no matching acupuncture points, easy positioning and operation, and is easier to repeat and promote than conventional electroacupuncture therapy such as the “meridian extraction method” and the “evidence-based extraction method”. Clinical practice also confirmed that this therapy has the characteristics of good patient compliance, rapid analgesic effect, safety and reliability, low recurrence rate and wide indications, and very low medical costs, compared with surgery and other non-surgical treatment has very significant health economic advantages and distinctive Chinese medical characteristics, social response is generally good.
