Abstract:
Professor YIN Kejing's academic thoughts and clinical experience in treating lateral epicondylitis using classical acupuncture techniques are introduced. Professor YIN Kejing believes that the onset of lateral epicondylitis is due to external pathogenic factors and internal overstrain, leading to a pathological mechanism of muscular tension, meridian obstruction, and qi-blood stasis, resulting in disharmony between nutritive qi and defensive qi. Treatment should adhere to the principles of disease pathogenesis, with meticulous diagnosis and emphasis on relaxing tendons, relieving muscular tension, dredging meridians, and regulating nutritive qi and defensive qi. Based on the theories of yin-yang balance, nutritive qi and defensive qi regulation, and the collateral connection of meridians, the treatment involves selecting positive muscular reaction points, the five-shu points of the related meridians, and collateral connection points. Classical acupuncture techniques, including floating needling, guan needling, three-needle needling, cross-needling, and through-needling, are applied to stimulate defensive qi, regulate nutritive qi, facilitate the transmission of meridian qi, and adjust tendon qi. This approach effectively relieves muscular tension, alleviates pain, restores function, and rebalances yin and yang. The treatment is characterized by precise acupoint selection, distinctive features, and remarkable efficacy.
