1, determine the position of Zhongshan point:

Zhongshan is located on the human chest, especially in the fourth intercostal space, at the midpoint of the connecting line between the two nipples. When determining the position of Zhongshan point, we need to find two nipples first, then connect the two nipples and take the middle point as Zhongshan point. In addition, the position of the fourth intercostal space can also be found in the supine position, where acupuncture can be performed.

2. Preparation before acupuncture:

Before acupuncture in Zhongshan, it is necessary to make full preparations. First of all, we should choose a suitable acupuncture needle to ensure that the needle body is clean, free from corrosion and bending. Secondly, disinfection should be carried out, including needle disinfection and skin disinfection. Generally, 75% medical alcohol is used for disinfection. In addition, to choose a comfortable position, generally use supine position or prone position.

3. Acupuncture methods:

When acupuncture is performed in Zhongshan, it is necessary to penetrate the skin to the corresponding depth. Generally, the method of straight needling or oblique needling is adopted. Straight needling is to insert the needle body vertically into the skin until it reaches the required depth; Oblique needling is to insert the needle body into the skin at a certain angle until it reaches the required depth. In the process of acupuncture, keep the needle body stable and avoid shaking or bending. At the same time, appropriate adjustments should be made according to the patient's reaction and needle sensation.
