Elaborate on professor Yu Tianyuan‘s experience in acupuncture point selection and acupuncture technique for treating cervical spondylosis of nerve root type. Professor Yu believes that in the treatment of cervical spondylosis of nerve root type, it is necessary to combine meridian differentiation with Western medicine‘s positional diagnosis. According to the spinal nerve positioning method, Jiaji points are determined. Following meridian differentiation, the main acupoints along the meridian are selected, and local acupoints are determined based on regional distribution. During acupuncture, the importance of acupuncture technique is emphasized. The amount of stimulation should be moderate, and acupuncture should be stopped immediately upon feeling the desired effect. The depth of acupuncture should be measured carefully to achieve the effect of curing the disease with a single acupuncture treatment.
