Treatment for Lumbar and Leg Pain
Lumbar and leg pain often results from blood stasis accumulation and meridian obstruction. Based on the TCM theory “no flow, pain; smooth flow, no pain,” I commonly use herbal fomentation therapy clinically to achieve effects such as relaxing tendons, promoting blood circulation, warming and tonifying, dispersing stasis, and relieving inflammation and pain. This method is simple and effective. Patients are encouraged to try it.
