Of Herniated Lumbar Disk, Lumbar Radiculopathy,
And Mechanical Low Back Pain
Richard A. Feely, DO
ABSTRACT
Background Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) is an acupuncture microsystem used for treating pain and dysfunction. To date, there has not been a large-scale study of the use, acupoint frequency, or location of YNSA in the treatment of various diagnoses of back pain.
Objective To determine the location frequency of YNSA Basic and Ypsilon points.
Design, Setting, and Patients A retrospective 2-year study of 115 successive patients seen at a private practice who received YNSA: 22 lumbar herniated nucleus propulsus (HNP) cases, 38 lumbar radiculopathy (LR) cases, and 55 somatic dysfunction/low back pain (LBP) cases.
Intervention All patients received osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) for identified somatic dysfunction and if pain persisted, YNSA
was used.
Main Outcome Measure Location and frequency of YNSA acupoints to achieve pain relief.
Results A total of 115 patients with back pain had a mean average of 3.17 visits. Ypsilon points most commonly used were Yin of YIN, 86.4%, and the least common were Yang/YANG, 1.6%. The most common Basic points were YIN D1-6, 11.14%, and most common Ypsilon points were left Yin of YIN GB, 3.65%. This treatment approach resulted in mean visits per patient of HNP: 5.27, LR: 2.42, and LBP: 1.82.
Conclusions The use of YNSA and OMT for low back pain resulted in immediate pain relief with a minimum of needles. YNSA should be further studied for this application.

I have been a back sufferer for a number of years and have tried a number of chiropractic and osteopathic treatments. In general, the latter have always been more successful.
However the best success has been with a combination of the Bowen Technique and a series of daily 5 minute exercises given to me by the same practioner which have strengthened my back and supporting muscles.
Back Pain
The facts of pain
People spent too much time thinking that pain was just the brain reaction to a single situation (a fall, some hit, a punch) but Scientifics have discover that pain is much more complex than that, and can reflect to parts in your body that have nothing to with it and can make it to difficult for you to stand other problems
For a lot of years now people had lived with pain accepting it as a part of their life but some changes in this attitude have to made because pain is not that easy to stand and in too many cases it makes another health problem worse .
Pain is Prevalent
• More than 50 million Americans people live with severe pain caused by several illness or disorders, and every year nearly 25 million people suffer with acute pain as a result of injury or surgery.
• Nine in ten Americans suffered from regular pain (89% said they have some kind of pain on a monthly or more often basis).
• Although the medical knowledge and technology is now available to relieve or greatly ease most pain, most pain goes untreated, under treated, or improperly treated.
• People don’t realize that pain is not something they "just have to live with," even though treatments are available to solve most types of pain. And, in fact, if not treated, pain can make other health issue worse.
• Four in five Americans believed aches and pains were a part of being older and 64 percent would only see a doctor when they could not stand the pain any more. Sixty percent said that pain was something you just have to live with, and 55% told they were uncomfortable taking medications.
• Pain causes the majority of pain sufferers (68%) to feel anxious, irritable, or depressed.
• Most of the people with pain say that their pain interferes with their ability to sleep.
• The 40% of those with pain say that their pain interferes with their productivity and ability to work.
