Abstract:
The paper reports one case of osteitis condensans ilii treated with acupuncture in the young and middle-aged female patient. Based on the "analogy" thinking, bilateral Chengshan (BL57) and Ximen (PC4) were selected. The short needling was delivered at Chengshan (BL57), in which, the needle tip went directly to the bone surface and the needle was lifted and thrusted to induce the tolerable sensation. At Ximen (PC4), the needle was inserted, with the depth of 20 mm to 30 mm, and manipulated with the even needling technique. The needles were retained for 30 min. The treatment was given once every two days, 3 treatments a week. After treated for 3 weeks, the pain and discomforts in the lumbal and gluteal regions disappeared basically and no recurrence was found in 1-month follow-up visit.
