Cervical Spondylitis

[Guest guest]

Hi Attilio

 

Great stuff, even if is is more " Cookbook AP " from China!

 

Is Jiaji Pt (C6-C7) the same as the New Pt NX03 (?Jingzhuipang, ? Neck

Vertebra Beside), which is 0.5' lat to spine of C7, i.e. 0.5' lat to Strange Pt

Z_31

(Chonggu, Lofty Bone), which is on GV line, in C6-C7 space?

 

Is Jiaji Pt (C7-T1) the same as the New Pt NX04 (Dingchuan, Stop Wheezing,

Soothing Asthma), which is 0.5' lat to GV14?

 

BL11 (Dashu, Great Shuttle; Bone Influential Pt, which is 1.5' lat to GV13,

level

with T1-T2 space) might be a good alternative to Jiaji Pt (C7-T1).

 

Also, I would add GB34 (or ST38), GB20, + any AhShi Pts on the neck. Also, 1-

2 Pts on arm (TH05 or LU07, or LI04 might be useful.

 

Kind regards,

Phil

Lecture from Dr Zhao Yu Xiang (associate professor of acupuncture and

moxibustion at Zhong Ri) on cervical spondylitis. The same set of 4 points

(cookbook) are used for all types of cervical spondylitis with good results. The

points are 1. SI11, 2. GB21, 3. Jiaji point between C6-C7 and 4. Jaji

point between C7-T1. All points are inserted, obtain de Qi and retained for 25

mins. No other manipulation is used. After acupuncture, a heat lamp can be

used on the area for 25 mins or moxa until the area is slightly red. Obvious

caution for the point Jianjing as it may puncture the lung, so insert oblique.

When inserting the points for Jaji, the patient should feel a tense and heavy

feeling. For Tianzong, it should feel numb and may radiate. (The doctor did not

specify perpendicular or oblique insertion). Ten treatments constitutes one

course. The patient should notice a difference after 2-5 treatments. The theory

of the success of these points is that they relieve inflammation of the nerves

and reduces oedema. The bone disorder remains but the symptoms are

reduced. The acupuncture regulates the channels and promotes Qi and Blood.

Jianjing regulates Qi and Blood and is commonly used in Tuina. Tianzong is

used in all shoulder disorders and is also used as a diagnostic tool. The Jaji

point between C7-T1 is next to Dazhui which regulates the Yang and Qi. Also

in relation to anatomy, it is the point where the moveable cervix meets the

fixed

thoracic vertebra. Attilio
