Back
pain - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment
There are many causes of back pain and a doctor must first establish whether
the problem is muscular, spinal, nervous in origin or caused by a disease
of the internal organs.
Back pain problems which are caused by strained or weak
muscles or sciatica can be helped by Chinese herbs. Acupuncture, manipulation or
massage may also be prescribed, and ointment, creams or plasters may be
given. Chinese ginseng root, teasel root and acanthopanax bark are used
to help relieve pain.
