30 yr old male patient who works in front of computer all day came due to chronic neck pain. he states he received physical therapy for 4 months but it just alleviates pain for a few days. for that reason he wants to try acupuncture.
he also tried acupuncture and when asked where he was needled he says he got ashi points with estim which didnt really do anything.
s/s: thin body type low voice slight insomina pain is located GB 20 21. SI channel is not affected. no palpitation no cold hands or feet w/o nausea no anxiety or stress. upon palpation, c 5 area is tender as well as GB 21 bilaterally.
Tx: Left GB 43 + (since pain is worse on his right side)
pain disappeared immediately.
(would wen dan tang work for this type of pain?)
