In the diagnosis and treatment of chronic low back pain（CLBP） by acupuncture

the modern medicine knowledge could elaborate the diagnosis. We can differentiate the disease more precisely with modern examination techniques

and modern anatomy knowledge could help to locate the disease more accurately. Modern medicine knowledge could also guide the practitioners to determine the therapeutic plans

including selecting local points more precisely

determining the direction and depth of acupuncture more accurately

and controlling needling sensation and comfortability. In acupuncture

modern acupuncture knowledge could contribute to point selection and acupuncture manipulation

thus guiding the clinic practice.
