Since the morning two days ago, my back has been hurting no matter what I do.
symptom
I woke up on the last morning of Golden Week with back pain. The pain was widespread, stretching from the inner and back edges of my shoulder blades along my ribs, and the only thing I could think of was the strength training I did over the holidays. I applied a compress for a day to see what would happen, but the symptoms only worsened. Thinking I wouldn't be able to do anything if I went to work the next day, I took the day off. First thing in the morning, I went to an orthopedic clinic, where I was diagnosed with a "muscle strain" and prescribed painkillers and a compress. Thinking that staying at home would make no difference, I did some research and found a different option: our clinic.

Treatment and progress
Whenever she moved her back, such as when changing clothes, she would cry out in 'Ouch!'. The pain was felt whenever her shoulder blades moved. So, we first focused on the tension in her back, and found a specific reaction in the area showing inflammation, so we performed acupuncture there. Next, we focused on the tension in her diaphragm, and performed acupuncture on the acupressure points on her buttocks and collarbone. At this point, she was able to breathe more easily, and speak a little more calmly.
When I tried moving it, I was able to move my shoulder blades, and as the pain on my side was bothering me, I used acupressure points on my feet, which disappeared. Finally, the discomfort moved to my back, so I tried using acupressure points on my neck, but I found that the patient was moving his arms in circles, so I ended the treatment.
Acupressure points used
Summary
It is common for the area of pain to change after acupuncture treatment. Therefore, we will ask you about your experience after acupuncture as we proceed.
As shown in this case, it is believed to be caused by tension in various areas, such as the thoracic spine, buttocks, collarbone, horizontal axis of the body, and neck. By approaching each area individually, the tension can be released, restoring the body's coordination and opening the way to improvement.
