Hi,
I have had a couple of patients mention getting an uncomfortable throbbing sensation on PC 9 during the duration
of the treatment which made it difficult for them to relax. When I needle it on myself it usually throbs as well but
dissipates after about 5 mins. I did have Sp 1 hurt for the whole 20 mins recently while experimenting on myself.
My question is if this is an expected sensation even if it keeps the patient from relaxing into the treatment. Jing
well points are typically not pleasant but I’m trying to see where the discomfort is worth it VS where it gets in the
way of the treatment
thanks in advance!

If sensation isn’t changing for the better after a minute or 2 and the patient is clearly agitated by it, I will adjust the
needle. Often backing off a little is all that is needed.
