Patient was a 39-year-old female. She had  suffered with chronic neck pain for many years but  gradually became worse about half year ago. The  pain radiated to the right forearm accompanied  tingling of the fingers. Diagnosed with moderate disc  hernia of C5~C6 vertebrae, she took various therapies, such as anti-inflammatory medications,  cortisone shots, physical therapy, and massage  therapy, all without much results. For acupuncture, with a sitting posture, the above needling method was employed on the local reflex zones, of which Quyuan (SI13), Jianzhongshu (SI15), Jianwaishu  (SI14), Fuyin (EX73), Fengchi (GB20), and Tianzhu  (BLIO) were selected. Other reflex points jn the right  upper limbs such as Quchi (LII1.), Shousanli (LIIO),  Shidou (SP17), and Waiguan (TE5) were associated  as well. Acupuncture was applied twice weekly.  Since the initial session, her numbness and tingling  of the fingers were alleviated. After 8 sessions of  acupuncture, all symptoms were completely relieved.
