Diagnosing stiff neck is not difficult, but care should be taken to rule out cervical spine disease. If the tender point is in the middle of the neck (i.e., on the cervical spine), cervical spine disease should be considered, and further examination can be combined with X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. When finger pinching is ineffective, stiff neck disease can be ruled out.

The Neiguan acupoint is located on the flexor side of the forearm, two inches above the wrist striae, between the palmaris longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon. The main effects of Neiguan acupoint are to calm the heart and calm the nerves, soothe the liver and stomach, and relieve pain.

Operation method: First, the operator first cuts the nail of his right thumb short, and then, the operator holds the back of the hand on the affected side with his left hand and flexes the wrist joint appropriately, so as to relax the tendons of the wrist flexor muscle group of the wrist. Immediately, the four fingers of the right index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are placed on the dorsal side of the Neiguan acupoint, and the thumb is firmly pinched on the Neiguan acupoint, so that the patient feels soreness, heaviness and sleepiness in the upper limbs, shoulders and neck.

Ask the patient to move his head freely from side to side, and the patient will feel less pain. At this time, let the patient's rotation angle gradually increase, generally about 3 minutes, and the symptoms of stiff neck discomfort disappear or are relieved.

To reinforce the effect, the operator can also massage the fingers for 1 minute where the patient's tenderness is most pronounced.
