Features: As the saying goes, "A patient's lower back pain is a doctor's headache." Strictly speaking, lower back pain is only a symptom and can be seen in various acute and chronic diseases. Some conditions are very serious, such as lumbar pyogenic spondylitis, lumbar tuberculosis, kidney stones, kidney abscesses, kidney tumors, and lumbar fractures, all of which present with lower back pain as the primary symptom. Others are relatively mild, to the extent that they may not even qualify as diseases, such as chronic lumbar muscle strain, supraspinous ligament strain, interspinous ligament strain, or lower back pain during a woman's menstrual period. In addition to lower back pain caused by structural damage to the lumbar tissues or organic lesions of abdominal and pelvic organs, lower back pain generally caused by cold exposure, sprains, or strain can be effectively relieved through simple and easily accessible home self-treatment. This book is written for patients with general lower back pain, compiling numerous experience methods from physicians throughout history and around the world. It serves as a means for patients to self-diagnose and self-treat, promising unexpected therapeutic effects. Of course, the diagnosis, guidance, and advice of professional physicians are also essential. If you can combine the simple self-treatment methods introduced in this book with professional medical treatment, the results will be twice as effective with half the effort.
