The present study reports on the efficacy and benefits of complementing Motion Style Treatment(MST) with traditional acupuncture and herbal additives. The study involved two case reports of persons with low back pain, exacerbated by spinal injury and varying levels of spinal degeneration. Findings revealed that both cases, pre- to post-treatment, expressed significant improverment relative to orthopedic findings, as well as exhibiting a large clinical effect. Additionally, the two cases exhibited MRI findings indicating non-surgical disc repair and halting of progressive degeneration. It is concluded that MST is desirable as a complement to other therapies for patients with spinal disc involvement, pain, and accompanying desenerative processes. Further study is underway to confirm these findings.
