Meridian Points along F₄ （Bladder Meridian） and F₅ （Gall Bladder Meridian） appeard highly abnormal in lower back pain patient according to Neurometry． These specific acupuncture points are F₄65 （BL4， Qucha） and F₄62 （BL7， Tongtian） on the head； F₄32 （BL23，Shenshu） and F₄30 （BL25， Dachangshu） on the trunk； and F₄14 （BL40， Weizhong） and　F₄8（BL60， Kunlun）　on　the　feet　in　F₄（Bladder　meridian）；　F₅35　（GB9， Tianchong）　and　F₅33　（GBll，Qiaoyin）　on the head； F₅15 （GB30， Huantiao） and F₅19 （GB26， Daimai） on the trunk； and F₅11 （GB34， Yanglingquan） and F₅6 （GB39，Ⅹuanzhong） on the feet in F₅ （Gallbladder Meridian）． Reactive Electro Conductive Points （RECP） were clearly recognized in the above mentioned points． FFD （Finger to Floor distance） was studied comparing the measurement values before and after one of the following treatments： （1） acupuncture needling to the depth of 3cm using No．51．6-cun needle followed by low frequency electrical stimulation using needle electrodes for 15 minutes， or （2） EAP （Electro Acupuncture： Needling with Direct Current） using sparrow pecking technique for fivetimes needle reciprocal movement．FFD was improved the best by the stimulation on the head area， resulting lesser degree by the stimulation onto the low back region， and also lesser degree by the stimulation onto the feet． This result suggests that the acupuncture treatment for low back pain is required not only the needling stimulation on the affected low back area， but also stimulation in the specificpoints on the head．
