Method

First, insert the needle perpendicularly at the affected tendon, or insert it obliquely, and have the patient lift and move the muscle while twisting and lifting the needle body to relax the tense muscle and restore function. This method involves multi-directional needling of the tendon, combined with twisting and lifting the needle body and moving the limb. Because this method involves multi-directional penetrating needling, it can amplify the needling sensation, hence it is called lateral needling (恢, ancient meaning "large"), or "multi-directional needling."

Clinical Application

Mainly used to treat sinew impediment, tendon tightness, restricted movement, pain, etc. It can also be used to treat thecal cyst, tendon injury, arthritis, etc.
