ACUPOINT TO ACUPOINT PENETRATIVE NEEDLING AND ITS CLINICAL APPLICATION

Acupoint to acupoint penetrative needling method has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese physicians in various dynasties hold that this type of needling method can strengthen the needling sensations and raise the therapeutic effect in clinical practice. This needling method can be divided into straight penetration, oblique penetration and transverse penetration. In clinical application, it can also be divided into external medial meridian penetration, a single meridian penetration, neighboring meridians penetration, and neighboring acupoints penetration, etc. in accordance with the involved acupoints and meridians. Clinical practice demonstrates that penetrative needling possesses advantages of stronger needling sensations, better therapeutic effect and fewer acupoints selection. For this reason, it is extensively applied in clinic.
