Which Acupuncture Points Should Be Used for Treating "Wealthy Bump"?

Wealthy bump, simply speaking, is a bump growing behind the cervical vertebra, and its occurrence is caused by the blockage of qi and blood in the human body. Acupuncture can be chosen to treat the Dazhui acupoint. The patient should sit upright with their head lowered to locate the acupoint, and then sterilize the acupoint and acupuncture needle. Place the needle on the skin of the acupoint, press the needle tube tightly with the left hand, align the right forefinger with the needle handle, and strike to quickly insert the needle tip into the skin. Then remove the needle tube and insert the needle into the acupoint. Through the stimulation of acupuncture on the meridians and acupoints, it can warm the meridians and dispel cold, strengthen the qi and blood circulation of the body, and effectively treat the wealthy bump.

1. Stand against the wall with your chin tucked in to return your head to its original position. Open your legs to the same width as your shoulders. Stand against the wall, extend the back of your neck, and use your index finger to gently push your chin backwards. Keep your head against the wall and your entire back and head pressed against the wall for 5-8 minutes. If you have time, you can hold the position for longer.

2. Stretch the thoracic vertebrae and chest muscles. The formation of the wealthy bump is often accompanied by forward head tilt, upper cross syndrome, and thoracic kyphosis, so it is also very important to stretch the thoracic vertebrae and open the chest cavity. You can use a corner or doorway, take a lunge position, and push your arms against the wall to move your body forward, assisting in opening the chest cavity. Hold this position for 15 breaths before relaxing your body. Remember to push against the wall while extending your spine.

3. Raise and relax your arms to relieve shoulder and neck tension. Stand upright with your feet together, tighten your whole body, and raise your arms naturally. Cross your arms after raising them, and turn your wrists so that the palms face each other and are pressed together. Keep the inner side of your arms close to your ears, sink your body slightly, and inhale. Grip the ground with your toes and stretch backwards as far as possible. Hold this stretching position for 10 seconds, relax, and repeat. You may feel pain points in your shoulders, neck, and back during the stretching process, but you will feel comfortable after the exercise.
