[Effect reflexotherapy on cervical-thoracic and lumbar pain syndromes in spinal osteochondrosis].

Abstract

Acupuncture used in cervical-thoracic and lumbar pain arrested the pain completely in 41.7 and partially in 53% patients with spinal osteochondrosis of the neck and chest spine. In lumbosacral osteochondrosis pain eliminated in 33 and 61.2% patients, respectively. If acupuncture is ineffective, vacuum blood letting is recommended as an adjuvant treatment to relieve pain.
