Shidou (ST16), (Tong Ren records are identical), governs rumbling in the diaphragm, sounding like 'chacha' and 'yinyin', often accompanied by water sounds. (Ming Tang lower states: treats diaphragmatic rumbling; Lu believes there is often water sound). Qi stagnation in the chest and diaphragm, moxibustion on Quexu (likely referring to a specific point or typo for another point, context implies back/diaphragm area), dosage according to the patient's age in moxa cones. Tianchi (PC2) treats chest and diaphragm irritability and fullness. (Tong Ren seen under chest fullness). Danzhong (CV17) treats diaphragmatic qi, vomiting of saliva and foam.

Guanchong (TE1), (See cholera syndromes). Tiantu (CV22) treats qi obstruction in the chest. (See coughing and reverse flow of qi). Danzhong (CV17) treats sensation of blockage in the chest. (Ming Tang lower. Qibo said: Accumulated qi forms dry obstruction). Tiantu (CV22), (See cough syndromes). Guanchong (TE1), (See vomiting and diarrhea syndromes), treats qi obstruction. (Ming Tang). Rugen (ST18) treats diaphragmatic qi, inability to eat, and obstruction disease. [Missing Character], treats chronic malaria, back qi fullness and stuffiness, and chest qi obstruction. (See lower texts). Shentang (BL44), (See spine pain). Zhongfu (LU1), (See lung qi syndromes), treats prone to obstruction. (See lower texts).
(Chest and Back, Back Spine, See Shoulder and Back Labor Disease for remainder)
Jingqu (LU8) and Qiuxu (GB40) govern chest and back stiffness. (Qianjin). Fufen (BL17) governs back pain radiating to the head. (Ming Tang lower radiates to chin). Geguan (BL18), Zhibian (BL54), Jinggu (BL64) govern back aversion to cold and pain, spinal stiffness making flexion and extension difficult.
Kunlun (BL60) governs spinal stiffness, heaviness in the back and sacrum. Geshu (BL17) treats back pain with aversion to cold, spinal stiffness making flexion and extension difficult, inability to eat and drink, vomiting and hiccups, excessive saliva and sputum, and chest obstruction and stuffiness. (Tong Ren).
Yishe (BL49) treats (Ming Tang lower has chest and hypochondriac distension), back pain with aversion to wind and cold, inability to eat, and vomiting. Jugu (SI10) treats back and shoulder pain, blood stasis in the chest, inability to flex and extend the shoulder and back with pain. Pohu (BL42) treats back and shoulder pain. (See rising qi syndromes). Shentang (BL44) treats spinal stiffness and urgency. (See shoulder pain syndromes). Qihu (ST15) treats chest and back stiffness. (See chest and hypochondriac fullness syndromes). Dazhui (GV14) treats Qi Zhu (wandering pathogenic factors) causing stiffness and urgency in the back and shoulders. Chengjin (BL57) treats waist and back stiffness. Burong (ST21) treats mutual pulling pain between chest and back. (See Pi accumulation syndromes). Jingqu (LU8) treats chest and back stiffness, chest fullness and distension. (See malaria syndromes).
Yuji (LU10) treats Bi syndrome wandering to chest and back pain. (See chills and fever syndromes). Pohu (BL42) treats scapular stuffiness. (Ming Tang seen under labor same as below). Lower text says: treats shoulder and arm area, inability to turn the head due to back qi, coughing and reverse flow with panting. Weishu (BL21) treats qi moving up and down in the back, spinal pain and abdominal borborygmus. (See lower texts). Zhisshi (BL53) treats inability to flex and extend due to back pain. For back pain, moxa Juque etc., or moxa Xiong tang. (Qianjin also treats rising qi). Feishu (BL13) treats kyphosis resembling turtle back, caused by fetal exposure to external wind striking the spine reaching the marrow. Moxibustion on Feishu (BL13), Xinshu (BL15), and Geshu (BL17), three cones each. [Missing Character], treats warm malaria, cold malaria, and disease malaria, back stuffiness and qi fullness, abdominal distension with qi dizziness. (Ming Tang). Chest pain radiating to the waist and back. (Qianjin seen under chest and hypochondriac). Lieque (LU7) governs chills in chest and back. (See shoulder Bi syndrome). Yuji (LU10) treats Bi syndrome wandering to chest and back pain. (Tong Ren seen under chills and fever). Yunmen (LU2) treats chest and hypochondriac penetrating back pain. (Ming Tang seen under rising qi).
Back pain is caused by labor. People engaged in crafts, and scholars or women working diligently, often suffer from this. (Scholars' calligraphy practice and women's needlework both lead to back pain through diligence). Color-related labor (sexual exhaustion) also causes this disease; Duke Jing of Jin is an example. Only Gaohuang (BL43) is the crucial acupoint. I once felt slight hidden pain at a spot next to Gaohuang, four and a half cun away from the spine; pressing it made the pain worse. I casually applied three small moxa cones, and the pain ceased immediately. Later, one day the pain extended to the shoulder, but treating the shoulder pain site cured it. Only then did I realize that the "Ashi points" mentioned in Qianjin Fang are indeed reliable. (Whenever I encounter heat, the area of Gaohuang produces cold sweat; this had lasted for years, and was cured by moxibustion.)
