The discomfort in my lower back turned into severe pain
symptom
Last Saturday, I was playing badminton with my kids as usual. I didn't feel any pain while playing, but when I sat down during breaks, I noticed a pain in my lower back that I don't usually feel. It only hurt when I was sitting, but it went away when I played, so I didn't think much of it. The next day, Sunday, I played twice as much as the day before, and by the evening the pain had become severe. I went home and rested, but there was no change the next day, so I contacted you.

Treatment and progress
When she arrived at the clinic, she bent over and looked down, complaining, "It hurts, it hurts." Because the pain was so intense, it was impossible to clearly state that "my whole lower back hurts." First, we looked at the reaction of the spine and addressed the inflammatory reaction that had emerged. Next, we performed acupuncture on the severe stiffness in the shoulders and back. This improved her movement, and she was able to assume a lateral position. To adjust the movement of the sacroiliac joint, we performed acupuncture on the corresponding acupressure points on the feet. Looking at her movement, we found that some pain remained in the middle of her lower back, so we addressed the acupressure points on her back and completed the treatment.
Acupressure points used
Summary
I performed the treatment with the aim of relieving inflammation and relieving tension in the upper body related to the lower back. I also think it is advantageous that the treatment can be performed in a sitting position.
