Naoshu nào shū · 臑俞

Location. On the shoulder girdle, directly superior to the posterior end of the axillary fold, in the depression inferior to the lateral end of the spine of the scapula.

Category. Crossing point 交会穴(古典列为小肠经与阳维脉、阳蹻脉之交会)

The second shoulder point in the classical sequence. The name refers to the upper arm (臑) and to a transport point (俞); the meridian is recorded here as meeting the Yang Link and Yang Heel vessels in some classical lists.

定位。在肩胛区,腋后纹头直上,肩胛冈下缘凹陷中。

特定穴。Crossing point 交会穴(古典列为小肠经与阳维脉、阳蹻脉之交会)

小肠经肩部第二穴。穴名取「臑」(上臂)与「俞」(输注之处);部分古典文献以此处为小肠经与阳维脉、阳蹻脉交会之所。

Classical record · not a treatment recommendation. Needling technique is a licensed practitioner's skill and is out of scope here.
The point sits over the scapula, and the bone limits how far a needle can go. Directing the needle toward the chest wall rather than along the bone is a practitioner judgement.
