＜Progress＞
There was a tight and tender spot in the left quadratus lumborum area. The aim of treatment was to recover his motion without touching the quadratus lumborum area.
The pain decreased by 60%. He could work after the treatment.
＜Implication＞
Directly needling the painful area may decrease the pain. However; for the case of acute lower back pain, it involves the risk of releasing the necessary (too much) tension. Because he had to work on the day, using distal points to recover his motion was ideal.
