Hi all

Quick question abuot acture low back pain

When your patient attends your clinic with acute low back pain, 1 day ago, and an assessment leans towards disc inury, I am always hesitant in doing too much hands on as it is so acute.

However on palapation of specific acupuncture points in the leg particulary GB31, SP6, and KI3, i noticed they are more tender on the side where the pain is.

Is it OK to needle these points to provide pain relief and kick start the healing process or will it cause greater inflammatory response in the back?

Cheers
