◎intermittent lumbar pain
A 42-year-old female came to the clinic on 14 June 2016. The chief complaint was intermittent lumbar pain for 2 days due to hard gardening work. The pain score was 8~9/10. It was found to be a common lumbar sprain after examination. Six needles were inserted and were retained for 30 minutes. After the needles were taken out, the pain score decreased to 5~6/10. The patient asked for Chinese herbal medicine, and she was given Chinese herb granules for 2 days. Then the lumbar pain disappeared.
