王氏云。背疼。因作劳所致。技艺之人。与士女刻苦者。多有此患(士之书学。女之针
指。
皆刻苦而成背痛矣)。色劳者。亦患之。晋之景公是也。惟膏肓为要穴。予尝于膏肓之侧。
去脊骨四寸半。隐隐微痛。按之则痛甚。谩以小艾灸三壮即不疼。他日复连肩上疼。却灸肩
疼处而愈。方知千金方之阿是穴犹信云(予每遇热膏肓穴。所多出冷汗数年矣。因灸而愈)。
治肩臂急痛手不上头。灸肩外头。近后以手按之宛宛凹处。灸七壮便愈(此是劳家病。
宜检风条中)。

王氏说:背痛,因过度劳累所致。从事技艺劳作的人,以及读书女红刻苦用功的人,多有此患(士人读书写字,女子刺绣针线,皆因刻苦用力而引发背痛)。面色萎黄者(色劳),也会患病。晋景公就是例子。只有膏肓穴是关键穴位。我曾发现膏肓穴旁,距离脊骨四寸半处,隐隐微痛,按压则疼痛加剧。随意用小艾炷灸三壮后便不再疼痛。后来再次牵连肩部疼痛,于是灸治肩疼处而痊愈。这才知道《千金方》中的“阿是穴”确实可信(我每次遇到热证灸膏肓穴,都会出冷汗数年,因为施灸而痊愈)。
治疗肩臂拘急疼痛,手不能举过头顶。灸肩外头穴。位于后方,用手按压呈凹陷处,灸七壮即可痊愈(这是劳损者的病,宜查阅“风”条相关内容)。

Wang Shi said: Backache is caused by overexertion. People engaged in skilled labor, as well as scholars and women working diligently on needlework, often suffer from this condition (scholars studying writing and women practicing embroidery both develop backache through intense effort). Those suffering from "color fatigue" (chronic depletion manifesting in complexion) also suffer from it. Duke Jing of Jin is an example. The Gao Huang (BL43) acupoint is crucial. I once found a slight tenderness about four and a half cun lateral to the spinous process beside the Gao Huang point; pressing it exacerbated the pain. I casually applied three moxa cones, and the pain ceased. Later, the pain recurred in the shoulder, and treating that area with moxibustion cured it. Only then did I realize the reliability of the "Ashi points" described in the *Qianjin Fang* (I used to experience spontaneous cold sweats for years whenever I encountered heat syndromes requiring moxibustion on Gao Huang; it was cured by this method).
To treat acute pain in the shoulder and arm with inability to raise the hand above the head. Moxa Jian Wai Tou (an extra point near the posterior aspect of the shoulder where a depression is felt upon pressure). Apply seven moxa cones for immediate relief (This is a disease of laborers; refer to the "Wind" section for further details).
