I’m a bit interested in those points behind the toes. One of my

internship supervisors used to palpate the backside of the joint of the

big toe (of the affected side in onesided low back pain – sciatica etc.)

for the sore point and then needling it with powerful reducing

stimulation. About five secs later the patients would be drastically

relieved from pain. I have used this tech. myself with quite some

success in especially onesided lower back pain due to basically any

syndrome.

 

Does anyone know more about toe points?

 

 

Needle stimulation:

 

Adding to the “needle stimulation” thread: Differentiating my patients’

level of Qi, pain threshhold etc. I tend to use quite powerful

stimulation in many of my patiens getting quite a strong sensation of De

Qi – either patients’ or my feeling of it. I have – as, probabaly, all

acupuncturists do - quite a few people come in with joint pains for

various reasons (and syndrome differentations), but more and more often

I do very powerful manipulation to one point at the time around the

effected joint (not on swelled joints then I use adjacent points on

affected channels). Often it only takes one to two points being very

powerfully stimulated for about 10-20 secs each to reduce the pain

significantly or to do away with it for good. If its adjacent points

usually it requires a couple of more points to be stimulated. I was

introduced to this tech. in a Hwa Rang Do (martial/healing art) DoJang

in Seoul, S.K. being treated for seven years lasting - at times

debilitating - knee pain – went away in about one minutes time .... and

stayed away. This tech. might not be new to anybody, but I am really

impressed with how quickly it deals with joint pain. Of course I treat

whatever syndrome(s) the patient also presents with. I try to pick my

needle and stimulation tech. varying between Japanese, Chinese and

Korean styles to fit my patients imbalances. I try not to “get stuck” in

one type of needling or the other or in one treatment modality or the

other. The only thing I don’t try to “bend” is the TOM theory......
