How successful in acupuncture on herniated lumbar disc injuries

I’m not sure exactly what you are asking, but, yes, pain of all natures is generally very well treated with Chinese Medicine/acupuncture. Low back pain from disc problems and other issues is one of the more common reasons for a visit to an acupuncturist and certainly my clinical experience is that the response rate is extremely high. This is perhaps even more so when you consider that most people don’t come to an acupuncturist until they have exhausted all other options which means that 80% or more of the cases are arguably more complicated.

Either way, I think what you are asking is if there is a fixed treatment protocol that always works well and the resounding answer is no - this is in fact in complete defiance to what makes Chinese Medicine work. For more in this read “What Does Acupuncture Treat?” to understand a bit about pattern differentiation (i.e. diagnoses for various issues that dictate what you do within Chinese Medicine) and then you can look at our basic acupuncture treatment for low back pain page which shows -some- of the more common diagnosis with -some- of the more commonly used approaches. The adaptability of the medicine is what will drive more consistent results - not fixed protocols.
