The lumbago which in Oriental medical terms is said to be caused by a KI-KETSU circulatory disturbance is in some districts known as colic. When this lumbago in which the cause is unclear in Western medicine is examined from a meridian viewpoint to determine in which meridian the disturbance is most prevalent, it is found, analyzing categorically with the 4 diagnostic methods (Yonshinpo), dermal thermometers, heat sensitivity, etc., that in most cases the disturbance is evident in the meridians of the lower extremities. Comparative analysis of two types of therapy, local therapy which involved the use of local Bladder Meridian points, BL-20, BL-22, BL-23, BL-25, BL-47 and supplementary therapy in which points from along the affected meridian were used, was carried out. Supplementary treatment points included:Stomach Meridian: ST-25, ST-36Spleen-Pancreas Meridian: SP-16, SP-6Gall Bladder Meridian: GB-25, GB-39Liver Meridian: LV-14, LV-3Bladder Meridian: BL-54, BL-61Kidney Meridian: KI-16, KI-9A comparison of therapeutic results indicated better results were obtained when the supplementary therapy was added.
