Abstract
Background: Low-back pain, with or without sciatica, is the most-frequently encountered pain in clinical practice. There are many ways to alleviate this pain, but most modalities are time- or cost-consuming. Cases: This report describes how pestle-needle therapy was used to treat low-back pain and sciatica in 3 patients. Results: The 3 patients had much relief of their low-back pain and sciatica after their first sessions of pestle-needle therapy. Conclusions: Pestle-needle therapy is safe, simple, and effective for treating low-back pain and sciatica, and can be considered as a first-line treatment for low-back pain and sciatica.
