Whether it is to mention the gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, piriformis muscle in the buttocks, or the gluteal fascia, sciatic nerve, obturator internal muscle and upper and lower twin muscles, we can't avoid the acupuncture points that we don't talk about, "the upper can cure the waist, and the lower can cure the feet", which is our protagonist today.

1. Acupuncture point location

The "ring" meaning of the acupoint name is a ring curve; "Jump", jump. In the eyes of the ancients, the effect of the ring jumping point may be like this, the ring jumping point is the meridian point of the foot less yang gallbladder meridian, and the acupoint is close to the hip joint.

Therefore, it is also called hip bone, ring valley, condylar disgust, condylar pivot, pivot, pivot. Ring jumping point, located in the buttocks, the main lower limb movement, refers to the lower limbs bending the knees and hips when the ring jumps.

This point can be reached by the heel, hence the name. At the same time, the treatment of this acupoint can improve the disease of the lower limbs, and do ring jumping exercises. Ring jump.

Ring, a kind of jade with a hole in the middle or a section in a series of rings, this refers to the cool and damp qi of the heavenly lung gold characteristic of the substance in the acupoint.

Jumping, beating also, yang is healthy, and the yang energy in the finger points is vigorous. The name of the ring jumps means that the gallbladder is vaporized into heavenly yang energy in large quantities after being damp by water.

The substance of this acupoint is the water dampness of the ground that comes from the acupoint, and after reaching the acupoint, the water moisture infiltrates into the plump muscles in the acupoint and vaporizes into the yang energy of the heavens.

Acupuncture point lateral decubitus method: on the line between the greater trochanter's carina and the upper end of the gluteal fissure, when the inner 2/3 and the outer 1/3 are located, that is, the posterior and upper part of the greater trochanter; or when the greater trochanter, the iliac crest is in the center of the triangular region of the ischial tuberosity.

Lying down method: the sacral hiatus (i.e., the waist Yu acupoint) is about four inches apart. Supine method: the upper edge of the greater trochanter is moved back by two horizontal fingers.

2. Treating diseases


There are many annotations in the literature about the ring jumping acupoint: "Su Wen": Wang Note: Zu Shaoyang, the meeting of the two veins of the sun. "Jin Jian": It is mainly used to treat the humerus, hips, thighs, and knees by wind, cold, dampness, and tendon cramps. "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng": The main cold rheumatism is paralyzed, unkind, rubella all over the body, half of the body is paralyzed, waist and hip pain, knee slumping, and no side contraction.

"Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Sutra": The waist and flank are induced by pain, the hip tendons are frustrated and the shins, the humerus pain cannot be bent and stretched, the paralysis is not benevolent, and the ring jumps the master. "Bronze Man": Treatment of cold wind and temperature paralysis, rubella, partial wind and half of the body, waist and hip pain can not be turned to the side.

According to the above literature, the indications for stimulating ring jumping acupoints are:

1. Locomotor system diseases: sciatica, paralysis of lower limbs, sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, low back and leg pain, hip and surrounding soft tissue diseases, athlete's foot;

2. Others: cold, neurasthenia, rubella, eczema.

The two most widely used clinical diseases are lumbar hip pain and lower limb malaise

1. The position of low back pain described by many patients with lumbar hip pain, if he is accurately circled and drawn, many of them are concentrated near the sacroiliac joint, strictly speaking, it is no longer "waist", but closer to "buttocks".

There is a large amount of tissue around the ring jumping point, such as skin, subcutaneous tissue, gluteal fascia, gluteus maximus, sciatic nerve, obturator internal muscles (tendons), and superior and inferior twin muscles.

The skin is dually distributed by the lateral branch of the iliohypogastric nerve and the gluteal epithelial nerve. The subcutaneous fascia is well developed and rich in fibrous and adipose tissue, and the posterior lower part of the buttocks has thick and dense fat to form fat pads.

Deep to the gluteus maximus, the sciatic nerve exits from the pelvis through the inferior piriformis foramen above the obturator medial muscle. The body surface of this point is located at the midpoint of the line between the posterior superior spine and the ischial tuberosity.

2. The sciatic nerve of the lower limb is just about to penetrate through the inferior piriformis muscle before it travels to the back of the lower limb, so if the piriformis muscle has abnormal tension, it is very easy to get stuck to the sciatic nerve, resulting in the symptoms of "lower limb paralysis". The circumferential jumping point is projected downward on the midpoint of the ischial tuberosity and the greater trochanteric of the femur.

The medial side of the sciatic nerve includes the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, the inferior gluteal nerve, blood vessels, pudendal nerves, and blood vessels. Once the nerve is compressed, it is very likely to cause weakness in the lower limbs. The intraobturator tendon below the nerve and its superior and inferior muscles are innervated by the muscular branches of the sacral plexus.
