Treating Low Back Pain by Targeting Trigger Points

Lower back pain is believed to be caused by strain to one of the six muscles shown in the diagram. If the only symptom is lower back pain, press the trigger zone of each muscle in the order of Erector spinae, Iliopsoas, Lumbar quadratus, Rectus abdominis, Latissimus dorsi, and Gluteus Medius, and depending on the zones which experience the most pain with electric acupuncture. If you have any symptoms other than lower back pain, or if you have other symptoms, you can narrow down the causative muscles to about 3 to 4 muscles from the beginning by referring to the above.
