Stefan Edberg - back problem

One of best tennis players ever with unmatched serve-and-volley game.
His smart tennis and intelligent behavour on and off-court made him the only one 
of it's kind.
Reportedly he got his back problems from his trademark serve which seemingly put too much stress on his back which finally caused slipped disc problem. 
As everything related to Stefan Edberg has a bit of mist over it, Web search hasn't provided what particular area of spinal column and what disc have got injured.

The easiest way to treat vertebrae is Standard and Insect Correspondence systems which have been
described earlier:



The spinal column is projected
on hand so that it's easy to target
every individual vertebrae  






The same easy is to locate spinal column on every finger
(thumbs have a bit different mapping)













Every problem will create sensitive and painful points at the corresponding zone of vertebra.
One can search along spinal cord by pressing with smth like round tip of a pencil to collect such points, then:
--- massage them, by the same tool
--- do simple moxibustion by incense stick: holding it perpendicular to a point at comfortable distance
to mantain a constant flow of heat until a pleasant warmth at a point; the pain usually subsides and may disappear even after a single session.
One may do massage as frequently as he wants during a day and moxibustion is advisable for 1-2 times
a day.
Every area and individual vertebrae can also be addressed by acupuncture treatment:
Regions have energy mapping as:
--- cervical - "Heat"
--- thoracic - "Wind"
--- lumbar - "Dampness"
--- sacral - "Dryness"
which allows general acupuncture recipe, for example, for pain in lumbar region:
Cold (bones system)--->Darkness (spinal column)---> Dampness (lumbar region): 
Cold, Dryness (pain and movements restriction) sedate, Wind, Burn (opposite energies)
tone up







  



This can be detailed firther if for example a problem with 4-th lumbar vertebra:

Cold (bones system)--->Darkness (spinal column)---> Dampness (lumbar region)--->
--->Dryness (4-th vertebra):  Cold, Dryness (pain and movements restriction) sedate, Wind, Burn (opposite energies) tone up

 For thoracic region in general the scheme is:





Nails system, points and work in it was described earlier:
