TCM for the Heart: New JAMA Study COMPOUND HELPS PATIENTS SUFFERING PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FORM OF
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
You might think all heart attacks are equally life-threatening, but ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI) tend to be more severe and dangerous.
Findings published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggest the TCM medicine Tongxinluo can improve clinical outcomes in STEMI patients in conjunction with guideline-directed care.
Patients assigned to receive Tongxinluo in conjunction with guideline-directed care had lower rates of 30-day, three-month and one-year major adverse cardiac / cerebrovascular events.

An example of the treatment of shoulder supraspinatus tendonitis to illustrate how this protocol works:

Friction (transverse, cross-fiber) massage on the lesion (scar tissues site) for 10 minutes.
Apply the ah-shi acupuncture technique to the lesion site.
Apply electricity on the needles, low-level laser/LED light therapy (photobiomodulation) around the needles, and far-infrared heat over the treatment area for 25 minutes.
Generally, this protocol takes 8-10 treatment sessions, spaced twice weekly, for up to five weeks to heal the chronic pain.

Assessing and Treating the Root Cause of Low Back Pain With Medical Acupuncture

Summary:
While an MRI provides definitive information about structural issues in the back, it is not necessary for treating low back pain with acupuncture.
Before conducting any orthopedic or neurological assessments, ask the patient questions about their urinary and bowel health. Low back pain can sometimes be indicative of a more serious condition: cauda equina syndrome.
If the patient has spasming pain, begin with Yao Tong Xue; for non-spasming pain, open the governing vessel: SI 3 and BL 62. Then proceed with BL 60 (bilateral), BL 40 (bilateral), BL 53 (bilateral), and BL 23 (bilateral).

Acupuncture treatment protocol can be used to treat low back pain, regardless of etiology and whether there is an MRI with or without confirmation of structural issues. Patients’ bodies tell us stories about what is causing the problem at hand; we must listen and assess appropriately to treat the root cause.
