TE13 · 手少阳三焦经

Nahui nào huì · 臑会

Location. On the posterolateral aspect of the arm, 3 cun inferior to TE14 (Jianliao), on the posterior border of the deltoid.

The name means "meeting at the upper arm" — the point sits where the meridian passes the bulky deltoid region. Classical texts place it among the points used to address local arm and shoulder discomfort, described as a naming convention rather than an effect claim.

定位。在臂后外侧,肩髎(TE14)下 3 寸,三角肌后缘。

穴名意为「上臂之交会」,位于三焦经经过三角肌隆起处。古典文献将其列入处理局部肩臂不适的穴位,此处为命名描述,不涉及疗效主张。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Over the posterior deltoid; the axillary and radial nerves pass nearby. Depth and angle are a practitioner judgement; not suitable for self-treatment.
