Location. On the posterior aspect of the forearm, 4 cun proximal to the dorsal wrist crease, in the interval between the radius and the ulna.

Named for the three yang channels of the arm. Classical sources describe it as a place where their influence meets on the forearm.

定位。在前臂后区,腕背横纹上4寸,尺骨与桡骨之间。

以手三阳而得名,文献记载为手三阳经气在前臂交会之处。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
The posterior interosseous nerve and vessels lie between the two bones at this level. Keep needling within the interosseous interval and avoid forceful deep insertion.
