Nature therapy-Acupuncture for Acute Lumbar Sprain
[Introduction]
Acute lumbar sprain is usually caused by improper posture, or excessive exertion or falling and contusion that impair the lumbar muscles, fascia and ligaments. The clinical manifestations are sudden lumbago and limited movement of the waist.
