[Practice of the low back pain treatment by acupuncture and moxibustion].

In oriental medicine, not only the local pathological state but also disharmony within the body and the stagnation of Ki are examined. For this purpose, diagnoses in modern western medicine are also used as references. The pathological condition is evaluated by the 4 diagnostic methods as original methods of oriental medicine, treatment points are decided, and acupuncture and moxibustion are performed. If meridians and reactive points that appear with Ki stagnation impairing natural healing ability can be determined, not only low back pain but also symptoms such as constipation disappear, resulting in harmony of the body and improvement in constitutional symptoms.
