Pain at lower back

I couldn’t possibly say “why?” without knowing more about your medical history - but the most common causes are mild to moderate disc degeneration, mild herniations, obesity, poor posture, etc. Our basic protocols for low back pain are presented on our acupuncture for low back pain treatment page.

The best results come from properly tailored treatment (see “treat the cause and not the symptoms”), tuina (Chinese Medical Massage) and possibly cupping or moxibustion depending on the underlying diagnosis.
