Acupuncture points for curing diseases

Pinching the spine to treat diseases mainly requires mastering the acupoints. If you can master the finger techniques and acupoints, you can achieve the purpose of curing the disease. Pinching the spine is a way to treat many diseases, especially children with poor gastrointestinal conditions, which can be improved by pinching the spine. So, what are the acupuncture points for curing diseases by pinching the spine? Let’s take a look at the detailed locations below.

Pinching the spine is a method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine that uses the pads of the thumbs and the middle sections of the index fingers of both hands to pinch, hold and twist the skin on the baby's back in sequence, with the sides of the thumbs. Chiropractic therapy can stimulate the autonomic nerve trunks and ganglia of the human body, improve the body's immune function through complex neurohumoral factors, and regulate visceral activities in a holistic and bidirectional manner, thereby preventing and treating a variety of diseases.

The acupoints for pinching the spine refer to the "Jia Ji" points, which are located on the lower back, on both sides below the spinous processes of the first thoracic to fifth lumbar vertebrae, 0.5 inches lateral to the posterior midline, with 17 points on one side, for a total of 34 points on the left and right.

The Du meridian is located in the middle of the human back, and the course of the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian is on both sides of the Du meridian. The Du Meridian and the Bladder Meridian are the body's first line of defense against external evil. Through spinal massage therapy, the meridians can be dredged and the internal organs can be adjusted.

What diseases can be cured by pinching the spine in children

1. By pinching the spine, the autonomic nerve trunks and ganglia on both sides of the human spine can be stimulated to prevent enuresis and stop sweating.

2. Gastrointestinal diseases: Children have weak spleen and stomach, and do not know when they are hungry or full. If they eat too much high-energy food, such as fried food, sweet and greasy food, and high-protein food, it will not be fully digested and absorbed, which will affect the spleen and stomach function, causing stagnation and anorexia. Indigestion may also cause diarrhea. Other infectious diarrhea will last for a long time and turn into weak spleen and stomach. These spleen and stomach diseases can be treated with spinal massage therapy.

3. Crying at night and restless sleep. Chiropractic therapy can regulate the spleen and stomach and make them function normally. If the spleen and stomach function normally, the child will not have abdominal distension, abdominal pain, or fullness in the stomach, and will be able to sleep peacefully.

4. Lung diseases Children who suffer from repeated colds and coughs are called immunodeficiency in Western medicine, while Chinese medicine believes that it is due to weak children’s external defense function and imbalance of yin and yang. Pinching the spine can harmonize yin and yang, strengthen the spleen and regulate the lungs by stimulating the Du meridian and the bladder meridian, thereby improving immunity and reducing respiratory infections.

Steps to massage your baby's spine at home

1. Let your baby lie prone on the bed with his back straight and relaxed.

2. The person doing the spinal massage stands behind the baby, with the middle fingers, ring fingers and little fingers of both hands clenched into half fists.

3. Half-bend the index finger, and use the middle section of the index fingers of both hands, close to the side of the thumb, to press against the child's coccyx; with the thumb and index finger facing each other, pinch the skin upwards and twist it upwards at the same time. Alternate your hands and push, pinch and release along both sides of the spine from the Changqiang point (3 to 5 cm above the anus) upwards all the way to the Dazhui point (the bony protrusion behind the neck at the same level as the shoulder). This counts as one spinal pinching.

4. For the 2nd, 3rd and 4th times, continue to pinch the spine as before, but lift the back skin upwards every 3 pinches. Repeat the first action twice more, for a total of 6 times.

5. Finally, use your thumbs to massage both sides of the spine from top to bottom 3 to 5 times.

6. Generally, pinch once a day for 7 to 10 consecutive days as a course of treatment. Babies whose therapeutic effects appear later can undergo two consecutive courses of treatment.

Things to note when massaging your baby's spine

1. Age: Chiropractic therapy is suitable for babies aged from six months to around 7 years old. Babies who are too young have delicate skin and if the strength is not properly controlled, the skin may be damaged easily. Babies who are too old have thicker back muscles that are difficult to lift and the acupoints cannot be pressed properly, thus affecting the efficacy.

2. Time period: Pinching the spine is more effective when performed in the morning after getting up or before going to bed at night. Before pinching the spine, expose your entire back, and try to keep your back flat, straight, and your muscles relaxed.

3. Time: Each spinal massage should not be too long, 3 to 5 minutes is appropriate.

4. Temperature: The room temperature should be moderate when pinching the spine. The nails of the person pinching the spine should be trimmed and smooth, and the hands should be warm. The technique should be gentle and agile, and the force and speed should be equal. It is best not to stop pinching the spine in the middle.

5. Technique: ① The technique should be light at the beginning, and then gradually increase the strength to allow the child to slowly adapt. ②Pinch and twist, do not twist. ③ When twisting and pushing forward, move straight forward and not tilt.

6. Taboo: The baby’s back skin is damaged, or the baby suffers from boils or skin diseases.

We have introduced the treatment of diseases by pinching the spine in detail above. I hope you can master the acupoints for pinching the spine to treat diseases in detail. If there are children in your family who do not like to eat or have poor physical fitness, and have tried many medicines or treatments without any effect, then you can try pinching the spine to treat diseases to improve this situation, which may achieve good results.
