Comment by Chad J. Dupuis, L.Ac.

Our protocol for Muscular Dystrophy is listed below. We do use scalp and body points, but do not rely on scalp only acupuncture (our own bias).


We use a combination of strong tuina (massage) and medical qi gong (tong ren therapy, specifically) to start treatments, then use needling, and then finish with more tuina.


MD Treatment Points:


<ul>
<li>Huatuo of C1, C2, T1 (bone marrow/bone problems), and T2 (thymus gland)</li>
<li>Tiandong (extra point to effect the vertebral artery)</li>
<li>GB 19 - muscle/coordination issues</li>
<li>Also SI 16, GB 20, GV 22, BL 9, ST 36</li>
<li>Tuina would be SI 16, huatuo area of C1, C2, T1, T2 - qigong drawing energy from GV 20 bai hui down through C1, C2, T1, T2</li>
</ul>
