At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we provide a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support people experiencing lumbar disc herniation and lower back pain. These conditions often involve lower back stiffness, sharp or dull pain, limited mobility, and may be accompanied by leg pain, numbness, or sciatica-like symptoms due to nerve compression.
From a TCM perspective, lumbar disc issues and chronic lower back pain are commonly associated with Qi and blood stagnation, kidney deficiency, and meridian obstruction affecting the lower back, hips, and legs. By improving circulation, restoring alignment, and relaxing surrounding muscles, TCM helps relieve discomfort and support functional recovery.
