A 35-year-old female nurse sustained an injury a year ago that caused her L3 lumbar vertebra to directly compress the sacral S1 nerve. More recently, while performing CPR with excessive force on an unconscious patient, she developed nerve compression at the C4–C5 cervical vertebra. Familiar with conventional Western medical treatments for cervical and lumbar spine disorder, she chose to have a try on acupuncture treatment instead.
After the first acupuncture session, she immediately felt a relief in the back of her neck and slept through the night. During the follow-up visit, she reported a significant reduction in arm numbness, with the sensation retreating from Quchi (LI11) down to Yangxi (LI5) and WanGu (SI4) . However, the lumbar spine condition still requires further treatment.

35歲女護士。一年前意外導致腰椎L3直接壓迫至薦椎S1神經;近期則因對昏迷不醒的病人進行CPR時用力過甚而導致C4~C5頸椎壓迫神經。因熟悉西醫對頸椎與腰椎病的慣性治療操作,再來因友人的介紹,她選擇過來做針灸治療。第一次扎針後現場立刻感到後項鬆解,當晚一覺睡到天亮。次診告知手臂麻痺程度大減,麻痺感由曲池退至陽溪、腕骨處。至於腰椎方面還需加強治療。
