SI 18 for Low back pain !!!

For one week there were 5 patients who suffered from unilateral Yao Yan low back pain

Some pain was due to heavy lifting or excersing and some patients got up with it without any injury. some patients were tall thin some patients were tall and built. however, all of these patients had pain stemming out from Yao Yan point (one side) often associated with radiating pain down to leg along UB channel.
pain is worse with physical activities and movement. SLR is positive.

SI 18 is used as Master tongs point (Ma geum Soo) and worked on all patients with such pain described above. there is a point 1 cun below SI 18 called Ma Gui Soo which takes care of the radiating pain along UB channel in this case.

according to the master tongs text book ma geum soo is associated with KD (so it treats inflammation of KD and so forth) and ma qui soo with UB. Addcording to Dr Kim Kwang H, these point combination treats pain which starts around HuaTouJiaJi points and down the leg. so far it worked great for low back pain around Yao Yan Point.

this type of treatment is much better than needling Yao Yan points locally.
