Shoulder Well — Jiān Jĭng
This acupuncture point is practically always sensitive to pressure, that is, it is painful when pressed, which does not automatically mean that there is a problem in the gallbladder energy area.

It is possible to press this acupuncture point longer than usual.

Application:
AcuPen:
This acupuncture point you work first with the round end. This is also the method used when doing acupressure with the AkuPen through clothing. The treatment becomes even more effective if you then press with the tip of the AkuPen for 60 to 90 seconds, or simply until the pain stimulus dissipates.
Acupressure:
The acupuncture point Gb 21 is pressed with the thumb for 60 to 90 seconds. The pressure is applied with sufficient force to produce a pain stimulus that is easy to tolerate.
Acupressure can be repeated several times a day (2 to 3 times) in case of acute problems.
Acupuncture technique:
The point is needled vertically, with a depth of 0.5 to 0.8 cun. Moxibustion is possible.
