Acupuncture Points

Sciatica


Between the two vertical hamstrings, behind the knee, in the crease produced when the leg is bent. N.B.: do not use this acupoint if you have varicose veins.

There is an acupoint in the recess immediately behind the outer anklebone.

Normally used in combination with acupoint 6. Acupoint 5 is a hand's-breadth above the end of the inner anklebone, behind the shinbone.

This acupoint is very effective in lower-body problems, especially in combination with acupoint 5. It is a hand's-breadth below the bottom of the kneecap, on the outer side of the calf, in the cavity between the shinbone and the leg muscle.

On the outer side of the foot, slightly behind the last knuckle of the little toe.

These points are on the back, on an imaginary line between the elbows, about two thumb-widths either side of the spine.
