Can cupping be used for low back pain?

Low back pain can be relieved by cupping. Low back pain is caused by external wind, cold and dampness, overexertion, bruises and other factors that cause stagnation of the lumbar meridians, poor flow of qi and blood, inaccessibility of the veins, and pain when not open. Cupping is an external treatment method in Chinese medicine. Through benign physical stimulation, it can warm the meridians and disperse cold, unblock the meridians, invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, move qi and relieve pain. Usually cupping is performed on the back points of the lower back, such as the Kidney point, the Waist Yang Guan point, the Large Intestine point, and the A-Ye point, for 7-10 times to relieve pain.
