Acupuncture points for radial nerve injury

The site of radial nerve injury is closely related to the circulation site of lung meridian and large intestine meridian, so it is necessary to choose the acupuncture points of lung meridian and large intestine meridian in the arm for acupuncture treatment, such as Tianfu, Shakuzawa, Kongmu, and Leshu. Radial nerve injury is mainly manifested as sensory deficits in the radial half of the dorsum of the hand, the two half-fingers of the radial side, the upper arm and the posterior part of the forearm, which are highly overlapped with the circulation sites of the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian. In the treatment, it is necessary to choose the acupuncture points of the lung meridian in the arm and the acupuncture points of the large intestine meridian in the arm. Specific treatment points include Tianfu, Shakuzawa, Kongmu, Liejiao, Taiyuan, Yuchi, Hegu, Yangxi, Yilian, Xiaolian, Sanli of the hands, Quchi, Yangxi, Waiguan, and Yangchi. These points are able to communicate the qi and blood of the superficial and internal meridians and work together to dredge the arm meridians to help with nerve recovery and regrowth. Radial nerve injury can be treated by choosing acupoints from the Lung meridian and Large Intestine meridian as well as acupoints from the Hand Syncopal Pericardium meridian and the Hand Shao Yin Heart meridian to help speed up the recovery. Note: It is recommended that the patient go to a regular hospital for consultation, and have a professional doctor choose specific acupoints for treatment according to the condition, so as not to make a mistake.
