I am interested in finding some of the best acupressure or acupuncture or osteopathic points to use for backpain. For the patient , the backpain is very painful when bending forward to pick up something from the floor.

What book or website best explains the proper points for each DIFFERENT type of backpain. For example, there is backpain from twisting action rather than the backpain that is worst from bending forward to pick something up.

Thank you.

Try some of the information by (excuse the spelling?) Travall or trevel or something like that. 🙂

Informed Touch is a good one. Travell is too expensive and deep. These people studied with her. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...79135/sr=ka-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-3182162-4948113

Try teaching them to avoid the pain by getting to the ground better. Your spine is not built to allow much movement. The muscles are long and skinny and cross many joints. The hip joint is a very mobile ball and socket joint, with giant powerful muscles built to create and control movement. Teach your patient to use more motion in their hip, squat like they are getting ready to play defense in basketball and maintain a neutral lumbar curve. If your patient squats properly (not like a catcher giving signals to the pitcher) their back does not move much (segment to segment). I have no problem with people treating symptoms, but you first have to fix the problem or all the symptomatic treatments are wasteful and ineffective.
