Is it so important to learn acupuncture and moxibustion to understand anatomy?

Very important!! If you don't learn anatomy, you don't have a needle, do you know what's down there? To take a simple and typical example, if the shoulder well is pierced deeply, what is the consequence of the wrong puncture, which is to cause a pneumothorax, because the lower part of the lung is very close to the tip of the lung.

This consequence is medical malpractice, and the doctor is responsible, and there are countless examples of acupoints in the back and legs avoiding the sciatic nerve and large blood vessels. Therefore, learning anatomy well not only helps to learn more medical knowledge, lays an indispensable foundation for the following content, and is appropriate and safe for patients, but also protects doctors themselves! A real doctor's anatomy is not to be understood, but to be proficient!

I think it's important because when you get a needle, you have to know where you are getting a needle and whether it's safe or not. Of course, you don't have to be very detailed, but at least you have to be safe.

Yes, 90% of the acupuncture points in acupuncture are around the nerves or blood vessels, so you should know how much you prick without damaging the nerves and blood vessels.

Only when the physiological structure is clear and accurate can you know the depth and shallow position of the needle! ~

I'm sure you're okay! ~

Of course, how can you accurately find the acupuncture points?

Traditional Chinese medicine majors generally need to learn anatomy, and special treatment is given in special circumstances.

Because the TCM major generally includes basic medicine and clinical medicine courses:

Guarantee standard: Colleges and universities that offer TCM majors must arrange the necessary basic medicine and clinical medicine courses in the course plan.

Development criteria: Colleges and universities offering TCM majors can actively promote the reform of the curriculum system and curriculum content of basic medicine and clinical medicine.

Note: Basic medical courses traditionally refer to human anatomy, histology and embryology, biochemistry, physiology, pathogenic biology, medical immunology, pharmacology, pathology, pathophysiology, etc., as well as integrated courses that include these contents.

Traditionally, clinical medicine courses refer to the fundamentals of diagnostics, internal medicine, infectious diseases, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency medicine, general medicine, etc., as well as integrated courses that include these contents.

Anatomy, pathology, physiology, and pharmacology are all compulsory courses. I graduated in 2011, when our Western medicine textbooks were the same as those of Western medicine, but we only needed to master the basics.

Anatomy is the first lesson in medicine. Other majors, such as fine arts, physical education, etc., also need to study human anatomy. Only by combining theory and practice can we learn human anatomy well.

To learn, the basic course of the anatomy room, those who study medicine have to learn, but instead of letting you dissect, you just look at the ones that have been clinically dissected, mainly to look at the bones and muscles.

Hello. There is no need to learn at all. The route of acupuncture is the route of innate vitality, and the anatomy is the route of blood in the afterlife, which are completely different things, so you don't waste time because the route is completely different.

I, a Chinese doctor, will never come to deceive you, don't worry.

Don't you think you can't learn to do it? Tuina requires a part of dissection, acupuncture is not the same as Tuina, are you sure your needle will not puncture the nerve? Won't get pricked into the guts? The question you ask is like asking if you need to eat, and the doctor is responsible for the patient and cannot joke with other people's lives.

Be sure to learn. What are you looking for without learning those acupuncture points? I studied acupuncture. Human anatomy is mandatory!

This must be learned, and after learning this, you will have a spectrum in your heart about how to get the needle, where to go, and what the consequences are. This course for acupuncture majors is not easy.

If you don't learn anatomy, how to find acupuncture points and how to locate them?

The ancients also secretly dissected the human body, and also made acupuncture bronze figures.

Then you also need to understand the distribution of blood vessels and nerves in the acupuncture points, and it is also good for you to diagnose diseases.
