Best Acupuncture Points for Acute Lumbar Sprain

There is no such thing as “the best acupuncture points for acute lumbar sprains”, but you can choose to relieve pain by needling Renzhong and lumbar pain points, and then localized needling of Kidney Yu, Sanjiao Yu, Ashi point (the point where acidity, numbness, swelling and pain are obvious), and distal commissure center, and so on. Renzhong, located at the junction of the upper third and middle third of the Renzhong ditch, can treat strong pain in the lumbar spine; lumbar pain point, located on the back of the hand, when the midpoint between the distal transverse stripe on the dorsal side of the wrist and the metacarpophalangeal joints, between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones and the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, with two acupuncture points in one hand, can treat acute lumbar sprains. Acute lumbar sprains can be treated by first needling Renzhong and lumbar pain points to slowly move the lumbar region, and then needling locally after pain relief. The foot solar bladder meridian circulates in the lumbar region of the back and travels on the back side of the thighs. Renzhong is a conjunction point of the Foot Solar Bladder Meridian, which can treat lumbar pain, together with Kidney Yu, Large Intestine Yu, and Ahshi points to dredge the meridians and clear the channels, and to activate blood circulation to relieve pain (by removing blood stasis to relieve pain).

Acupuncture needs to be operated by a professional doctor, do not do it on your own.
