LI10 · 手阳明大肠经

Shousanli shǒu sān lǐ · 手三里

Location. On the dorsal-radial forearm, on the line from Yangxi to Quchi, 2 cun below the elbow crease.

Classically grouped with LI11 and LI4 in the literature on the arm and shoulder.

定位。前臂背面桡侧,阳溪与曲池连线上,肘横纹下 2 寸。

经典文献中常与 LI11、LI4 一同出现于上肢与肩部论述。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
Low risk in routine practice. The radial nerve runs through this area, so a tingling or shooting sensation is a signal to withdraw slightly rather than to push deeper.
