Shoulder Pain & Back Pain

A 42 year-old patient with the chief complaints of left shoulder pain along with low back pain which is like a band across the low back area. The left shoulder pain has been going on for about 5 years due to repetitive and constant movement at work. The pain could be aggravated by reaching out to the back and shoulder abduction.

Low back pain could be aggravated by back extension, prolonged sitting and standing. After 6 treatments, the patient said he got about 80% improvement and is able to raise his arm up without too much pain, and the low back is not much an issue.

I credited this not only to the patient’s self-healing ability and compliance but also the effectiveness of Balance Method acupuncture
