According to the clinical medical experience accumulated by our ancestors, there are multiple options for distal acupuncture points in the treatment plan for this situation.

According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many important meridians passing through the waist of the human body, among which the most famous is the Du meridian.

As mentioned in the previous article, the Du meridian is one of the eight extraordinary meridians. Its route in the human body is mainly along the waist, back and head. It governs the six yang meridians and is called the sea of ​​​​yang meridians.

Let’s first talk about the course diagram of this meridian itself, which will explain that you can directly select acupoints on this meridian to treat your waist.

If the affected part is not good, the acupoints close to the affected part should also be on this meridian. Indeed, when treating the waist, acupoints are often selected nearby, such as Yaoshu, Changqiang, etc., which are close to the affected part.

If you do not want to get close to the affected area and want to select acupuncture points farther away, you must also first pass theoretical research.

The Du Meridian is connected to the Ren Meridian and the Foot-Taiyang Meridian and the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Based on this, doctors can select acupuncture points on these four meridians for remote treatment.

Is it feasible? It still needs to be confirmed by clinical practice.

Whether the medical records in ancient scriptures are authentic and reliable is impossible to travel back in time without knowing whether someone has spoofed them. Modern medicine is needed to verify the authenticity. So do you think modern Chinese medicine research is necessary? Of course it is very necessary.

A later Chinese medicine research database reviewed by Dr. Xie Wanying showed that there is a very special acupuncture point called Weizhong Point.

Weizhong acupoint has long been famous in ancient books for treating lumbar diseases.

Some books directly mention: Weizhong is specifically used to treat low back pain.

Some books even praise Weizhong as follows: Weizhong can relieve five kinds of low back pain.

In modern TCM research and clinical controlled experiments, there are many experimental groups that use Weizhong acupoint to treat acute lumbar sprains. After all, it is a distant acupoint, and if you want to make the effect more prominent, adding acupuncture and cupping is equivalent to one plus one treatment. The data obtained by brushing is quite unexpected and surprising.

When the patient, Dr. Cao Zhao, heard this, he quietly rolled up his sleeves and said: It's better not to needle the hands. It's just right to needle the legs, because the marks left by the needles and cupping will take a few days to disappear, and wearing long pants can completely cover it, and people won't notice what he did before.

The specific location of Weizhong point is really a point that can be covered by pants. Even if it is not covered by pants, most people will not pay much attention to it: the center of the popliteal fossa horizontal line, which can be simply said to be in the middle behind the knee.

The names of acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine often have stories behind them. For example, the reason why Weizhong acupoint is called Weizhong is that when locating this acupoint, the patient must first sit upright with his feet hanging down. At this time, the patient's knees are bent at almost 90 degrees.

Doctor, how should we select acupuncture points for the patient next?

The doctor should hold the patient's thighs on both sides with both hands to fix them, with the thumbs facing up and the other four fingers below, and the index finger placed in the center of the inner side of the patient's knee. The place where the index finger points to the center of the bend, namely Weizhong.

Do you know whether you are selecting the acupuncture points correctly?

For example, Dr. Xie Wanying can first use the tip of the index finger to press and rub the inside of the acupoint for about a minute, allowing the patient to feel whether there is any acupoint sensation.

If I have spare energy, like Dr. Xie Wanying, I can go a step further and use both hands to massage the Weizhong points on both legs of your patient at the same time. This will double the stimulation and the patient will feel it more obviously.

The people around were overwhelmed by the sight.

Doctor Tong's mouth was half open in an oval shape, and his eyes occasionally signaled to Professor Pei: You said this guy is awesome, really awesome.

It takes an old doctor to do this in an instant.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the speed and accuracy of Dr. Xie Wanying's acupuncture points as instantaneous. Although Dr. Xie seems to follow the instructions in medical books step by step, she completes the process in one second.

It should be said that this happens to be Dr. Xie's specialty, and it has little to do with whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine treatment. There is no difference, and they can be dealt with equally without any pressure.

The patient's reaction was even more exaggerated.

Everyone looked at Dr. Cao Zhao and felt that he was acting.

Doctor Cao Zhao seemed to be struck by lightning at that moment, and he kept shouting: "I have it, I feel it, no need to press it."
