SI13 · 手太阳小肠经

Quyuan qū yuán · 曲垣

Location. In the scapular region, at the medial end of the suprascapular fossa, at the midpoint between SI10 and the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra.

The third point on the scapula in the classical sequence. The name means "curved wall", after the curved medial border of the spine of the scapula where it sits.

定位。在肩胛区,肩胛冈上窝内侧端,臑俞(SI10)与第 2 胸椎棘突连线的中点处。

小肠经肩胛部第三穴。穴名取肩胛冈内侧端弯曲如墙之形,意为「曲之垣」。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Sits over the medial scapula. Bone limits depth in most people, but angling the needle medially toward the spine is a practitioner judgement.
