Increased pain after acupuncture for lumbar disc herniation is not normal, which may be caused by unstrict local disinfection, incorrect needling technique, too many times of acupuncture, or not timely rest after acupuncture treatment. 1. Local disinfection is not strict: if the local disinfection is not strict before acupuncture, and bacterial infection is caused after acupuncture, the pain of lumbar disc herniation will be aggravated. 2. Incorrect needling technique: If the needling technique is incorrect, such as the technique is too heavy, or the patient is too tense and does not cooperate well, which may lead to the needling too deep, the phenomenon of worsening pain after acupuncture for lumbar disc herniation will occur. 3. Too much acupuncture: If more points are selected at one time, resulting in too much acupuncture, it can also lead to increased pain after acupuncture for herniated lumbar disc. 4. Not resting in time after acupuncture treatment: If you don’t rest in time after acupuncture treatment, the pain symptoms caused by herniated disc will also continue to worsen. If the pain worsens after acupuncture for herniated disc, it is recommended to cooperate with a professional doctor for examination as soon as possible, analyze the cause and take appropriate measures to deal with it.
