Fwd: The Acupuncture Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis

There may be some helpful ideas that can be applied to ankylosing

spondylitis in this article.

 

I'm especially interested in the SI3 (Small Intestine 3) point in helping

neck and head problems due to Exterior Wind Cold or Wind Heat. Some

headaches with Wind Cold or Wind Heat as a factor respond very well to just

acupressure used on this point. But one seldom sees this point mentioned in

general information on relieving headaches.

The SI 3 connection is that its the master point of the Du Mai

(Governing Vessel). The Du Mai runs up the spine into the brain. I've

also heard of this point being used during an epileptic seizure too.

Although it isn't specifically a recessitation point such as kidney 1 or

du 26, it does help the seizure patient recover from the seizure more

quickly, at least so I'm told. : )
