There are 61 patients with 9 male and 52 female; youngest 27 and oldest 56; 7 male are driver, back pain on female is mostly caused by wind and cold invasion after baby delivery; shortest pain 6 months and longest 15 years.

Treatment method:

Points: according to diseased area, we choose 4 to 6 corresponding Hua Tuo Jia Ji points.

Manipulation: Patient takes face down lying posture, puts pillow below chest, places arms straightly downward, then we do sterilization on points with 2% of iodine and 75% of alcohol, we burn fire needle and quickly insert and withdraw fire needle on points with 0.3 to 0.5 cun deep. Treatment is done once every other day, 10 times of treatment is one course.

Precaution: patient should take comfortable posture, we can not insert fire needle into blood vessel; needle should be fired enough, otherwise it is difficult to insert needle and patient feels painful; we should insert shallow depth on the back because there are important internal organs inside.
