Abstract:This paper introduces Professor FENG Shulan's clinical experience in treating functional dyspepsia by releasing "costal process" with acupotomy. Based on the dynamic balance theory and the theory of meridian-tendon junction,Professor FENG Shulan proposes that the "costal process" is the core treatment point for functional dyspepsia. The precise location of the "costal process" is achieved through horizontal and vertical dual-force-line palpation, followed by shovelling and release manipulation using acupotomy on the rib surface. This therapy can rapidly improve the core symptoms of functional dyspepsia and restore abdominal biomechanical balance by correcting rib displacement. This therapy offers advantages of precise positioning and safe operation,and provides a new treatment approach for functional dyspepsia using acupotomy.
