Numbness below the ankle can be effectively treated with acupuncture by selecting acupuncture points on the ankle such as Xie Xi, Shen Wei, Zhaohai, Kunlun, Tai Xi, etc. and acupoints on the ball of the foot to form a prescription for acupuncture. According to the meridian theory of Chinese medicine, the numbness below the ankle is mainly caused by the blockage of the meridian qi of the three sun meridians of the foot, which leads to poor qi and blood circulation, or the insufficiency of qi and blood in the three meridians that cannot nourish the foot. In acupuncture treatment, the more effective clinical method is to choose acupuncture points in the ankle area, such as Xie Xi, Shen Wei, Zhaohai, Kunlun, Tai Xi and other points, as well as acupoints in the foot area to form a prescription for acupuncture treatment. Several points in the ankle area can communicate with several meridians to moisten the feet, dredge the meridians and activate blood circulation to relieve numbness. In addition, Zhaohai and Shenwei points are connected to Yin Stilt Vein and Yang Stilt Vein, which are responsible for the movement of the lower limbs, so they can relieve the numbness below the ankle. The acupoints on the feet can dredge localized qi and blood, and work synergistically with the acupoints on the ankles to speed up the relief of symptoms. Each person’s symptoms are different, so there is no such thing as the best acupuncture treatment, only clinically effective treatment options. If you experience numbness below the ankle, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible and have your acupuncture treatment performed by a professional doctor.
