Precautions
At the cervicothoracic junction, tissue thickness affects the margin for needling. Deep insertion toward the lung field may penetrate the pleura and cause pneumothorax.
Location (classical)
At the level of the inferior border of the C7 spinous process, 0.5 cun on either side of the posterior midline.
How to find it (practical)
Identify the C7 spinous process on the midline. At the level immediately below it, measure 0.5 cun to either side.
Atlas differences
A Chinese multicenter protocol describes both approaches. The Chinese textbook Zhenjiuxue gives only the perpendicular approach, at 0.5 to 0.8 cun. The posterior landmark is the C7 spinous process. The printed reference to the uncinate process does not identify this posterior landmark.
Needling
Pontos e Meridianos describes two options near C7, both 0.5 to 1 cun. The approach may be perpendicular or oblique toward the spine. The textbook also permits moxibustion.
