Unit 2 Test Flashcards
Give a summary of the contemporary acupuncture strategies for the treatment of an acute musculoskeletal extremity injury in the first 24 to 74 hours?
- Upper extremity systemic points- ear points/GV-26/GV20, HT-3/HT-7/PC-6, GB-34@2-4Hz, LI-4. Lower LR-3
- Needles distal and or proximal to the injury on neurologically relevant nerves
- Needles on homologous Area on contralateral limb
- Paravertebral input at neurologically relevant segments
- Needles surrounding the injured tissue
What are the goals of an acupuncture treatment in the first 24-72 hours of an acute musculoskeletal problem? Give 4-6 examples
To decrease excessive sympathetic activity(central, regional, local). To decrease no set nociceptive activity from injured area, to decrease spinal processing of those nociceptive signals, same centrally, to facilitate tissue healing, to modulate Central pain experience
