Master Tung’s Ling Gu Da Bai (灵骨大白) 22.04 -22.05

Two really great points for immediate relief of lower back pain. I learned about these points from Dr. Tan’s balance method seminar a few years ago.Located between the index and thumb between the first and second metacarpal bones. Ling Gu is more like a high LI4 & Da Bai is closer to Li3 in TCM.

Da Bai

Location: Lock fingers in a grip to locate the point in the depression 0.5 cun proximal to the junction between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones. (Young, 2008.)

Ling gu

Location: between the index and thumb, the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, 1.2 cun from Da Bai. (Young, 2008.)

This combo definitely has great effects for sciatica, lower back, and variety of different diseases. Because these points are located on the Yang ming channel (yang ming is abundant in qi and blood,) they are able get quite immediate effective result for many patients.


The Chinese character “bai” in Da bai translates to “Big White” which relates to lung because in TCM white is the color representing the lung. Therefore Da Bai treats respiratory diseases.

Ling Gu in Chinese translates to “Adroit Bone,” which treats lower back pain and Kidney diseases since Bone pertains to Kidney in TCM.

There are two dozen more reasons why these work but all I know is that they work.

Master Tung came from one of the most prestigous acupuncture familes in Taiwan. This style of acupuncture is renowned for having fast and instantaneous results. If you are an acupuncturist and getting crap results, you should really look into Master Tung points.

Instant Relief Acupressure Lower Back Pain

Great Acupressure point for lower back pain

Lower back pain is one of the most commonly treated conditions acupuncturists treat everyday. Most people that have tried acupuncture should be able to get good results in terms of pain relief but there also a few things patients can do on their own time in between the treatments to help expedite the healing process:

  1. Stretches and exercise: back bridges along with the right stretches help keep the muscles nice and loose.
  2. Avoid processed and sugary foods: These foods have an inflammatory effect and hinder the healing process.
  3. Acupressure: If the pain comes back (which it sometimes does) you can always try acupressure to keep the pain at bay until your next appointment. Below is quick video on a great acupressure point that can be used for lower back pain:
