Abstract:
This paper introduces Professor WANG Jihong's clinical experience in treating refractory lateral epicondylitis using the Wang's crescent technique of blade needle. Based on the classical theories of Huangdi Neijing (the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic) such as the "twelve sinew meridians" "short needling" and "shu needling", Professor WANG applies a self-designed blade needle with crescent needling method. This approach forms a distinctive treatment philosophy characterized by "sinew meridians as the foundation, selecting points at the pain site; using chicken-claw needling technique deliverd at both internal and external; integration of heaven, earth, and man, using both short and shu needling; treating tendon injuries and inflammation with the crescent technique of blade needle". It embodies the therapeutic concept of "treating tendons and bones simultaneously, harmonizing yin and yang", and shows unique advantages in the treatment of this condition.
