A dull, heavy feeling in the lower back that makes it difficult to sit for long periods of time
symptom
I've been busy at work for the past few months, with a lot of desk work. Since the beginning of November, I've noticed that my lower back and shoulders get stiffer and stiffer when I sit, and sometimes it makes me feel sick. Lately, I can't even sit for long periods of time.
He didn't want it to interfere with his work, so he returned to our clinic, which he had visited before.

Treatment and progress
On palpation, tenderness and significant muscle tension were noted in certain areas of the shoulders, the backs of the thighs, and the lower back.
The problem with the shoulders was thought to be in the back and elbows, so acupuncture was administered to the pressure points on the back and elbows, which significantly reduced the stiffness and heaviness in the shoulders.
Next, to relieve tension in the lower back and back, acupuncture was performed on the acupressure points on the back of the thighs and calves, and the tenderness in the lower back and tension from the lower back to the back disappeared.
The symptoms were significantly alleviated and treatment was discontinued.
Acupressure points used
Summary
This is a typical case of pain caused by continuous pressure on the back of the thighs due to long hours of desk work. The body naturally hunches, increasing tension in the back and waist. Working on a computer also puts constant strain on the elbows and shoulder blades, leading to shoulder tension. As the symptoms worsen, the patient may experience a feeling of heaviness, shallow breathing, and nausea. Being able to treat the condition before it worsened led to good results after just one treatment.
