Muscular dystrophy can be gradually seen through acupuncture treatment in about three to six months, but due to individual differences, so the specific situation can not be generalized. Muscular dystrophy is a common disease caused by disorders of the musculoskeletal system, equivalent to “impotence” in Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is very effective in treating muscular dystrophy, tonifying qi and blood, and moistening the tendons and veins, such as the Sanyinjiao, Yanglingquan, and Foot Sanli points. Yanglingquan is the meeting point of the tendons, adjusting the tendons; Sanyinjiao can strengthen the spleen, benefit the kidneys, moisten and nourish the tendons; foot Sanli strengthens the spleen and the stomach, dredges the meridians and channels, and strengthens the health care. Weakness of the spleen and stomach can be matched with spleen Yu, stomach Yu, and the middle epigastric region; deficiency of the liver and kidney can be matched with liver Yu, kidney Yu, Taichong, and Taixi. The combination of multiple acupoints plays the role of dispelling evils and moistening the meridians. However, due to the complexity of the pathological factors and development process of muscle atrophy, the duration of the effect may vary from three months to about half a year, and cannot be given an accurate time. In addition, each patient’s condition and physique varies greatly, so the specific situation can not be generalized. During the treatment period, patients should strengthen the active and passive limb function exercise to help early recovery. It is recommended that patients choose regular hospitals in the treatment process, by professional physicians to carry out specific operations, do not operate on their own, in order to avoid aggravation of the condition.
