Abstract:
Under the guidance of the "Sancai principle", based on the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of the imbalance of muscles and bones in bi syndrome of neck region, holistic treatment should be used. The needle-knife release therapy is applied at corresponding acupoints in the three parts i.e. head, neck and back including Tiancai points (Naohu [GV 17] and Naokong [GB 19]), Rencai points (neck Jiaji [EX-B 2]), and Dicai points (Dazhui [GV 14], Quyuan [SI 13] and Tianzong [SI 11]). According to the layers of the lesion's meridians and muscles, the needle-knife is inserted into skin, muscle and bone to relax the tendons and treat bone disorders, and restore the normal mechanical balance of neck.
