🔈ACUPUNCTURE - THE MERIDIANS, QI, LOCATING ACUPOINTS

There are twelve regular or main meridians or channels distributed symmetrically on the right and left side of the body. A meridian in TCM is the pathway for the flow of Qi around the body. Most acupuncture points are found on these channels.

The twelve meridians are grouped in pairs of organs, which are said to be internally/externally related to each other in TCM. Qi flows from one another in a systemic cycle throughout the day. One of the channels pairs will be Yang in nature and there will be Yin.

✅THE MERIDIANS:

Stomach ST
Spleen SP
Kidney KI
Bladder BL
Liver LI
Gall Bladder GB
Large Intestine LI
Lung LU
Small Intestine SI
Triple Heater TH
Heart H
Pericardium P

✅LOCATING ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

The body can be divided into areas that are proportionally related to each other. The Chinese method of measuring these divisions is based in the ‘Cun’. One cun is the distance of the client’s middle phalanx of the finger. When the index finger is flexed between the two medial ends of the creases of the interphalangeal joints is one cun. Many points can be found easily by using a map as a reference. For example, if a point on the leg is described as being 8 cun below the knee crease, it will be halfway between the knee crease and the hip of the lateral malleolus, as this distance is 16 cun. Despite this system allowing for specific locations, it is very important to feel for the point as a slight indentation or dip.

FABER TEST

Technique

The patient is positioned in supine. The leg is placed in a figure-4 position (hip flexed and abducted with the lateral ankle resting on the contralateral thigh proximal to the knee.While stabilizing the opposite side of the pelvis at the anterior superior iliac spine, an external rotation, abduction and posterior force is then lightly applied to the ipsilateral knee until the end range of motion is achieved. A further few small-amplitude oscillations can be applied to check for pain provocation at the end range of motion.A positive test is one that reproduces the patient's pain or limits their range of movement.

Purpose

The FABER test is used to identify the presence of hip pathology by attempting to reproduce pain in the hip, lumbar spine or sacroiliac region. The test is a passive screening tool for musculoskeletal pathologies, such as hip, lumbar spine, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction, or an iliopsoas spasm.

The test also assesses the hip, due to forces being transferred through the joint. The position of flexion, abduction, and external rotation, when combined with overpressure, stresses the femoral-acetabular joint and produces pain, if irritated.

In conjunction with other tests such as range of movement and hip quadrant test, FABERs can be a useful tool to guide practitioners when to refer for further imaging in patients with persistent hip or groin pain.

When the FABER test is clustered, it can provide highly useful information in identifying those suffering from sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This tests the sacroiliac joint, as the horizontal abduction force goes through the femur, the soft tissues under tension transfer the forces to the sacroiliac joint. Hence, this test can indicate pathology located in the hip or sacroiliac joint.

🔈 VEINS, MUSCULOVENOUS PUMP & VARICOSE VEINS

Although most veins of the trunk occur as large single vessels, veins in the limbs occur as two or more smaller vessels that accompany an artery in a common vascular sheath.

Musculovenous pump. Muscular contractions in the limbs function with the venous valves to move blood toward the heart. The outward expansion of the bellies of contracting muscles is limited by deep fascia and becomes a compressive force, propelling the blood against gravity.

When the walls of veins lose their elasticity, they become weak. A weakened vein dilates under the pressure of supporting a column of blood against gravity. This results in varicose veins - abnormally swollen, twisted veins - most often seen in the legs. Varicose veins have a caliber greater than normal, and their valve cusps do not meet or have been destroyed by inflammation. Varicose veins have incompetent valves; thus, the column of blood ascending toward the heart is unbroken, placing increased pressure on the weakened walls, further exacerbating the varicosity problem. Varicose veins also occur in the presence of degenerated deep fascia. Incompetent fascia is incapable of containing the expansion of contracting muscles; thus, the (musculofascial) musculovenous pump is ineffective.
