's clinical experience in treatment of wrist rheumatoid arthritis with acupotomy mobilization at the muscle regions (sinews/fascia) of three

yang

meridians of hand. Professor

WANG Haidong

believes that wrist rheumatoid arthritis belongs to the disorder of meridian muscle regions and is especially associated with the damage of the muscle regions of three

yang

meridians of hand running through the wrist. Under the guidance of meridian muscle region theory

on the basis of modern anatomy

and the treatment principle

"needling the affected areas may treat disorders of sinews/fascia and dysfunction of meridians simultaneously"

acupotomy mobilization is adopted to balance sinews/fascia and bones

operated directly at the involved meridian muscle regions. Besides the foci (palpable knotted sites) on the distribution of muscle regions

acupoints along the affected meridians are stimulated in combination. With this therapy

after determining the location of illness

both the disorder of sinews/fascia and that of meridians can be treated.
