Treatment and progress
During the initial examination, tension around the arm and poor wrist mobility were observed through palpation. When acupuncture was applied to points on the back that were strongly related to arm tension, the arm tension was relieved. When the patient moved her wrist, she felt discomfort on the ulnar side, so acupuncture was applied to points on the shoulder blade, which eliminated the discomfort. After the first treatment, the patient felt "somewhat better." A few days later, when she returned to the clinic, she reported that she no longer felt wrist pain during tennis.
