Weizhong point, also known as Zhizhong, is one of the four important points of acupuncture and moxibustion, and it is also the joint point of Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, which is a meridian with less qi and more blood, and is an ideal point for pricking blood, so acupuncture is called blood stasis.
In ancient times, there was a saying of "asking from the waist and back", which came from the Song of Four Acupoints and was first recorded in the Complete Collection of Acupuncture edited by Xu Feng, an acupuncturist in Ming Dynasty. "Asking from the back" means that all back diseases can be treated by this committee. This point has the functions of relaxing muscles and tendons, dredging collaterals, removing blood stasis and promoting blood circulation, and clearing away heat and toxic materials, so Ma Danyang is used to treat crane knee wind; Yang Jizhou is used to treat erysipelas and carbuncle; Jin Jian, a medical doctor, is also used to treat salivation. Weizhong point can dredge the qi of the meridians of the sun, vent the heat of the viscera, and puncture and bloodletting can treat summer injury, cholera and vomiting and diarrhea; Clearing heat and purging fire, reducing fire, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and stopping epistaxis. Puncture and cupping bleeding; It can also expel blood-heat evil, clear away heat and promote diuresis, and remove rubella; Eliminating yang, reducing fire and toxic materials, removing blood stasis and clearing heat, removing toxic materials and resolving phlegm, treating furuncle, relaxing muscles and tendons, activating blood circulation and relieving pain. In addition, it is often used to treat flaccidity, dryness, bitterness, swelling and pain, acute spasm of lower limbs, etc.
Low back pain caused by acute lumbar sprain is often caused by falling, falling, hurting tendons and arteries, qi stagnation and blood stasis. It has long been recorded in Neijing that pricking collaterals in Zhongxue county treats acute low back pain. The article "Su Wen pricks low back pain" says: "Foot sun pulse makes people feel low back pain, and people's back is like a heavy neck, and the sun bleeds in it." Since then, Qianjin, Taitai, Tongren, Daquan, Dacheng and Jinjian have all been said to treat low back pain. For example, Xi Hongfu said, "Zhong Wei specializes in treating waist carbuncle", and Ling Guangfu also said, "Five kinds of low back pain are not cured" and so on.
The central point is the confluence of the bladder meridian, and the bladder meridian is examined from beginning to end. Among them, the straight meridian runs through both sides of the spine, reaches the waist, goes deep into the inner cavity along the tarsal cavity to contact the kidney and enter the bladder, and then branches from the waist and clamps the spine through the popliteal fossa directly below the hip. The other branch passes through the scapular spine and the epiphyseal fulcrum; Descending along the posterior edge of the lateral thigh and meeting with the anterior branch at Weizhong point. Weizhong acupoint is located at the junction of the two branches, which has the function of regulating qi and achieving the prime minister's function of painless, strong waist and strong knee. Therefore, according to the law of selecting points along the meridians, which is "the meridians circulate and the main points are reached", this determines its function of treating acute low back pain and other diseases.
Anatomically, Weizhong point has posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, deep tibial nerve, popliteal artery and popliteal vein. Stimulating acupuncture sensation at this point through receptors and afferent nerves causes the discharge of pain-sensitive cells and the release of endorphins in the nucleus raphe, thus suggesting pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold, which has a good analgesic effect.
Acupuncture at Weizhong point is mainly used to treat acute low back pain caused by falling injury. For example, lumbago, overwork and kidney deficiency caused by kidney deficiency are persistent dull pain. It is advisable to tonify the kidney and cultivate the yuan, but it is not advisable to stab this point to make the bleeding more virtual, as the Analects of Confucius said: "The virtual person should not stab, so be careful." Pricking blood at Weizhong point is purely a purgative method, which is suitable for treating deficiency-excess cold-heat in clinical application. Deficiency cold syndrome should be avoided. The operation must be skilled, light and just right. The body position is mostly prone position, or standing position is used for patients with acute lumbar sprain or severe pain of blood stasis in lower limbs.
The amount of blood released by pricking blood depends on the condition, which is generally about L-5 ml. If the color is deep purple, the strain is red. Excessive bleeding or blood deficiency can lead to qi escaping with blood. In addition, accidental injury to popliteal artery or popliteal vein causes hematoma, which is easy to cause infection. It is really a warning to the acupuncture family, which is invisible in clinic. Physical weakness, deficiency of essence and blood, chronic illness, pregnant women, anemia, prostration, habitual abortion, blood loss and easy bleeding are prohibited.
