Abstract: Objective Study on the application effect of qi and collaterals manipulative nursing on non-specific low back pain. Methods A total of 126 patients with non-specific low back pain who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation of the Fourth Hospital of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects. According to the nursing methods, they were divided into a Qi and collateral manipulative group and a traditional group with 63 cases each. The traditional group were given routine functional exercise nursing, and the Qi and collateral manipulative group were given the Qi and collateral manipulative nursing on the basis of the treatment of the traditional group. Both groups were given nursing observation for 2 months. The overall curative effect of the two groups was observed, and the overall pain of myofascial trigger points, the activity of the waist joints, and the surface electromyography were evaluated before and after nursing. Results Before nursing, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of myofascial trigger point pain, the oswestry disability index (ODI) score of lumbar joint activity, the surface electromyography(sEMG) of flexion and dorsi-extension states, the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). After nursing, the VAS of myofascial trigger points, lumbar joint activity ODI scores and flexion state sEMG value of the two groups of patients were significantly lower than those before nursing, and the Qi and collaterals manipulation group was also significantly lower than the traditional group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The total effective rate of the Qi and collateral manipulative group after nursing which were significantly higher than the traditional group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The application of Qi and collateral manipulative nursing in non-specific low back pain can relieve the pain of myofascial trigger points, improve lumbar function and surface EMG level, thereby improving the overall curative effects.
