Objective
This study aims to overview the therapeutic mechanism of back-shu points in terms of sympathetic visceral motor nervous system.
Conclusions
The back-shu points treatments work through the mechanism of the sympathetic nervous reflex. Moreover, segmental acupuncture can reduce tension of the spinal muscles, thereby improving pathological conditions of the sympathetic nervous system.
