TCM Functions:
* Relieves pain

Cautions and Contraindications:
* Because of the blood-invigorating nature of this formula, Back Support (AC) is not recommended during pregnancy and nursing.
* Back Support (AC) is not designed for long-term use. If the pain lasts for a long period of time and becomes chronic in nature, Back Support (CR) should be used.
* If the patient presents with fever and a one-sided back pain, consider a possible kidney infection and do not use this herbal formula. Patients with acute nephritis should be referred to their medical doctor immediately.
* Patients who have pain radiating to the extremities accompanied by a sudden loss of bladder or bowel control may have a pinched nerve or spinal injury, and must be referred out to emergency care. This condition, known as cauda equina syndrome, can lead to permanent disability and must be evaluated and treated immediately.
