Case History # 7:

Patient: 44 years old, Male, Caucasian
Major Complaint: Low back pain

The patient had a bad car accident 15 years ago, which caused severe herniation of the 4th lumbar disk. Doctors recommended surgery, he went to an acupuncturist instead. He stayed with acupuncture therapy for about 2 years, and the pain was still getting worse. He decided to go through the surgery. After his first surgery he had to go through three more surgeries, one after another. Each surgery gave him only a few months or a few years of relief. For the past three years he has been seeing a chiropractor and massage therapists three times a week. Pain was only barely controlled. He was also introduced to a new injection drug therapy method.

 Diagnosis and Treatment

The patient was confirmed as a pancreotonia, the major fire constitution. Disharmony was in between his kidney and pancreas.

Treatment

Promote kidney five times
Reduce pancreas one time
All in one session

Treatment Results

This patient's condition was so degenerated, he was not happy with the impressive results of treatment. After about four sessions, he decided to try drug injection therapy. Two months later the patient returned to the clinic and asked for more treatments. He is receiving a treatment twice a week currently.

Dietary Consultation

This patient is highly prone for type 2 diabetes. He must avoid foods with rich seasonings and sugars. If he develops diabetes, his back conditions will certainly get worse. Whole grains and meat without rich sauces and lots of root vegetables were recommended. Enriched or refined food must be avoided for the rest of his life.
