What is the primary use of the Jian Qian point?

The Jian Qian point, also known as the Extra point "Jian Qian" or "Front of the Shoulder," is primarily utilized for the treatment of shoulder and arm pain. This point is located in the deltoid region, specifically at the midpoint of the anterior aspect of the shoulder joint.

In traditional Chinese medicine, this point is often employed to alleviate discomfort, stiffness, or pain in the shoulder area, which can result from various conditions, including tendonitis, bursitis, or general overuse injuries. Its effectiveness in managing musculoskeletal issues related to the shoulder and arm makes it particularly valuable for practitioners focusing on pain relief and functional improvement in upper limb mobility.

Other options like uterine issues, malnutrition, and digestive problems are not typically treated through the Jian Qian point, as these conditions do not align with the specific functions and anatomical focus of this acu-point.
