46
Q

describe successive needling:

A

for wandering BI

1) insert needle at pain point
2) insert 2nd needle in line with 1st needle

47
Q

describe restorative needling:

A

tendon/muscle BI (relaxaa0

1) insert needle at pain point and move in/out in 4 directions

48
Q

describe uniform needling:

A

Cold-BI (fixed, small, deep location)

1) insert needle at pain point (thrust to get Qi)
2) insert 2 more needles obliquely toward 1st needle

49
Q

describe superficial needling:

A

Cold-BI

1) insert needle perpendicularly deep
2) insert 4 needles in 4 directions Obliquely-superficial toward 1st needle

50
Q

describe short thrust needling:

A

Bone BI

1) insert needle perpendicularly until you hit the bone, then gently stimulate

51
Q

describe shallow needling:

A

tendon, muscle, cold-Bi (muscular spasms, numbness)

1) insert 2 needles beside pain point shallowly toward pain spot

52
