Location of Yaotong Point and Optimal Time of Its Needling

Chen Rilan??? & Yue Xiaoyan???

 

Objective:To determine the location of Yaotong point and the optimal time of

its needling in the treatment of acute lumbar sprain. Method:Thirty-five

cases of acute lumbar sprain were retrospectively analyzed for the location

of Yaotong point and the method of its needling according to their disease

courses and effects. Results: The optimal time of needling is 1-3 days after

lumbar sprain,and the location of Yaotong points on both hands correspond to

the location of sprain. Conclusion: This correspondence is useful in

practice.

In the article I mentioned, the authors chose to use the most painful point

on palpation. Most often they will needle two points; if only one can be

found they needle that point. You can have the patient sit down and put

their palms on the table. Then needle the point(s) perpendicularly, and only

0.3 to 0.5 cun deep. They think the depth of needling is crucial. Twirl with

a rather small amplitude and try to make the needling sensation go upward.

It doesn't have to go all the way to the back, but if it moves up the arm

that should be satisfactorily. Only very sensitive patients might feel the

sensation go all the way to the loin. Moderate stimulation. After 1-2 mins

of manipulation, let the patient stand up and move the loin in all

directions.

The point can also be found more distally than its usual locations, just

look for a painful point.

As said, best used in the early stage (1-3 days). Less effective after 7

days of lumbago.
