Releif of low back pain with low reactive laser acupuncture techniques

Kurland H D. Aku.1999; 27(4):24.

12 patients who had refractory low back pain problems related to spinal arthritis and complicated by herniated discs were treated with GaAs laser acupuncture. Nogier frequencies 2.82 and 146 were mainly used. Used points not indicated in abstract. Effectiveness was observed with immediate improvement in pain and muscle spasms. Elimination of pain medication and improvment in functional activities was progressive in 10 of the 12 patients. Two patients with spinal stenosis failed to maintain improvement for more than a brief period. One had surgical relief of the stenosis and then responded with relief of post-operative symptoms.
