25 yr old female patient with acute elbow pain came to my office. She does massage for a living and there is sharp pain and clicking in right elbow which is worse after work.
pain is located along SJ SI LI channels. according to master Tung, Lung 5 can be used for tendonitis. SI 6 through SJ 5 can also be used but based on my experience it does not work well for elbows compared to other points.
1st point, LU 5
patient tells me her elbow feels lighter (about 20%)
2nd point, CeSanli then patient feels about 50% more better
then LI 11 on the opposite side for pain around LI 11.
Tendonitis is not easy to treat. Compared to other modalities, acupuncture works well to reduce inflammation. In acute cases patients need to come in 1-4 treatments.
