when do we tonify LI channel for low back pain

tonifying LI channel is well known tech, but how can we differentiate that from other channel s/s?

text books mention nodules in the neck area, thyroid problems, redness in eyes, bowel movement issues are related to LI. I found it very difficult to understand. it seems so vague. such s/s can be due to LV problems and not to mention not many present goiters in neck or nodules.

recently there are a number of low back pain patients LI channel worked. one of them had auto accident 1 yr ago. the other has chronic low back pain due to buldging disk at L4 L5. all s/s were negative (I was not able to diagnose by zhang fu theory.) meridianwise it is DU and many times pain radiates from lumbar spine to one or both sides (waist).

they have had 3 tx using LI 5 - SI 5- LI 11 ST 36 + (sometimes using just 2 or 3 of these points depending on the condition). both have improved about 20%.
