Acupuncture Points

Upper back


On the top of the shoulder, halfway between the neck and the outer point of the shoulder.

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

Slightly behind the muscle between the neck and shoulders, a little closer to the arm than to the neck.

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.
