Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 When a problem gets more painful after a treatment, there a several reasons for this, in relation to the shoulder pain I'll deal with the most common reason, and that is there is a blockage of energy & or blood in the area very stagnant energy ) and if you put distal points in first it will have the affect of sending extra energy to the area to clear the blockage, but if the blockage is old, the extra energy backs up where the blockage is and this will sometimes cause more pain until it clears, it often takes quite a lot of shifting trying to clear the blockage, but it will eventually clear usually within 24 hours. Even so the pain won't last and the result will still be a positive one, to sum it up put in local points first and distal points second. If its an old problem or injury insert local needles in first to clear the area, wait a couple of minutes then put in the distal points appropriate to the problem, this will prevent the pain from getting worse, there are other reasons that this may occur but as I said this is the most common. This is an old acupuncture law that applies to headaches particularly migraines, always put local point in first to disperse the blockage then distal points second. hope this is of help to someone. cheers Murray.

Another point. In case of small calcifications (p. ex. in the shoulder joint), could it be possible that with the reestablishment of the proper QI equilibrium, the solid deposits would dissolve and disapear? Or no such thing is possible? Because if this is not possible, then i would think that acupuncture would not deal with such situation - except as a paliative to diminuish pain (?)
