Acupuncture fact
acupuncture for acute lumbar radicular pain found positive effect on pain threshold and intensity
nerve root compression fact
95% occur at L4/5 or L5/S1

causes are multifactoral
- mechanical overload
- oxidative stress
- metabolic disorders
- genetics

non-painful input close the nerve gate to painful input and prevents painful sensations from reaching the CNS

mobilisation sets & reps ref
Pentelka et al 2012
mobilisations fact
to induce the greatest local hypoalgesia, at least 4 sets of mobilisations are required.
The different durations of 30 versus 60 s of mobilisation may not change the extent of the hypoalgesic effect.
