Recently, acupuncture has gained significant recognition worldwide because of its
effectiveness in managing musculoskeletal disorders and Acubody is at the forefront.
Whilst this is an ancient practice, people often overlook acupuncture in favour of
modern medicine. However, the times are changing and more people are seeking
natural ways to gain relief from musculoskeletal pain and discomfort.
Some of the acupuncture points for musculoskeletal disorders are:
● GB20 – GB20 or Wind Pool is located on the base of the skull, within the
suboccipital muscles. Stimulating this point releases tension and disperse wind in
the neck and shoulders, leading to relaxation and symptoms related to headaches
and neck & shoulder tensions are relieved. Along with eliminating stress and
promoting mental clarity, stimulating this point relieves physical pain and
discomfort.
● Bladder meridian points – BL23 and BL60 are bladder meridian points that we
often stimulate to alleviate musculoskeletal symptoms. BL23 is found at the level
of the second lumbar vertebra and is effective for eliminating sciatica pain and
lower back pain. On the other hand, BL60 is found on the outer ankle, which is
beneficial for ankle and foot pain. It also helps in eliminating lower leg
discomfort.
● Large intestine meridian points – These points, especially LI4 and LI11, are
stimulated to offer musculoskeletal relief. LI4 is referred to as the Hegu point and
is found between the thumb and index finger. It is a versatile point used for
different conditions, including shoulder pain, toothaches, and headaches. LI11,
on the other hand, is found on the outer arm and effective for eliminating tennis
elbow, elbow pain, and upper arm discomfort.
● Small intestine meridian points – These points, such as the SI3, are located on the
outer side of the hand. This acupoint is helpful for shoulder stiffness, neck pain,
and headaches.
When it comes to addressing musculoskeletal disorders, these acupuncture points
for musculoskeletal disorders are helpful. From balancing the flow of energy in the
body to reducing inflammation and releasing endorphins, the stimulation of these
acupoints helps alleviate musculoskeletal problems and pain. Moreover, the stimulation
of these points improves blood circulation so that you can lead a normal life and not
have your life interrupted with debilitating discomfort.
