Back Pain Relief: A 3-Stage Kung Fu Medicine Protocol

Heal Your Back Like a Martial Artist – Without Drugs or Surgery

Back pain stems from inflammation, muscle micro-tears, and poor circulation. Conventional fixes (ice, painkillers) often mask symptoms but delay healing. Our Shaolin-inspired system:
Reduces swelling without starving tissue (unlike ice)
Repairs micro-tears in muscles/tendons
Restores mobility with ancient techniques like cupping

Goal: Calm swelling while maintaining blood flow.

Protocol:

  1. Gua Sha First (if pain is severe/unresponsive):

    • Use the tool to identify inflamed areas (darker marks = more inflammation).

  2. Herbal Ice

    • Apply as a poultice for 1 hour or overnight.

  3. Acute Injury Liniment

    • Massage upward (tailbone to neck) between Herbal Ice sessions.

⚠️ Warning: If pain radiates down legs, consult a specialist (possible nerve compression).

Protocol:

  1. Tendon Injury Liniment

    • Apply 3x daily with gentle kneading motions.

  2. Cupping Therapy

    • Use 5-10 mins daily to flush metabolic waste. Cover area afterward to avoid drafts.

Goal: Prevent reinjury and rebuild resilience.

Protocol:

  1. Yunnan Bai Yao Plaster

    • Apply nightly to nourish deep tissues.

Critical Notes

  • Herbal Ice may temporarily yellow skin (harmless plant pigments).

  • Cupping marks fade in 2-5 days—avoid re-cupping over them.

  • For severe cases: Pair with Wu Yang Plaster (cooling alternative to Herbal Ice).
