Where is the subclavian fossa

The subclavian fossa is 2 cm below the middle clavicle, with a sore sensation when pressed. Inside this location is the lung tip, and nearby are the subclavian nerve and the subclavian artery, making it a very important anatomical location in clinical practice. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the subclavian fossa is the patient’s Zhongfu point, which belongs to the Hand Taiyin Lung meridian and is close to the tip of the lung, so it can treat cough, cough and asthma, etc. Stimulating this point through acupuncture or compressing it can stop coughing and calm asthma, and can also clear lung heat. The subclavian fossa is very susceptible to fracture, and patients who experience pain in the clavicle and have a history of trauma should choose to go to the hospital for further consultation.
