Extra Point Chonggu

This extra point is located under the C6 spinous process on the Du Mai. It is indicated in cervical spondylosis to help with local pain from ligamentous strain, facet joint degeneration and patterns of C6-C7 radicular pain. The needle angle is transverse-oblique and should be inserted to a depth of 1 inch into the fibers of the interspinous ligament. Based on patient comfort, use the rotate and lift needle technique. This needle technique helps with lower cervical midline pain especially with patients that have a forward head posture.

Gain experience and supervision needling this point and so many more in the upcoming MODULE IV (Neck, Shoulder & Upper Extremity) Assessment and Treatment of Injury course held in Bloomfield, New Jersey (December 2024) and San Diego, California (January 2025).
