Exploration on acupuncture treatment ideas for knee osteoarthritis from the perspective of Dongyuan needling technology
The treatment ideas with acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis(KOA) are explored on the base of Dongyuan needling technology. Regarding the rules of acupoint selection
Zusanli(ST 36) is predominant
the back-shu points are used for the disorders related to the invasion of exogenous factors
and the front-mu points are for the cases caused by internal injury. Besides
the xing-spring points and shu-stream points are preferred. In treatment of KOA
besides the local points
the front-mu points
i.e. Zhongwan(CV 12)
Tianshu(ST 25) and Guanyuan(CV 4)
are selected specially to tonifying the spleen and stomach. The earth points and acupoints on the earth meridians(i.e. Yinlingquan [SP 9]
Xuehai [SP 10]
Liangqiu [ST 34]
Dubi [ST 35]
Zusanli [ST 36] and Yanglingquan [GB 34]) are optional to coordinate yin and yang
essence and qi
and regulate the qi movement of spleen and stomach. The shu-stream points of liver
spleen and kidney meridians(Taichong [LR 3]
Taibai [SP 3] and Taixi [KI 3]) are chosen to promote meridian circulation and regulate zangfu functions.
