Acupuncture, one of the traditional Chinese Medicine Method, at certain points on the body, can have analgesic and therapeutic effects in various diseases. Application on the Back-Shu and Huatuo-Jiaji points are especially effective on the visceral organs. The specific points on the back are called the Back-Shu points where these are points pertaining to the Urinary Bladder Channel located at the back 1.5 cun (special measurement of acupuncture) lateral to the Du channel. Huatuo-Jiaji is a group of 34 points on both sides of the spinal column, 0.5 cun lateral to the lower border of each spinous process from the first thoracic to the fifth lumbar vertebra. Application of acupuncture on the Back-Shu and Huatuo-Jiaji points of the urinary bladder affects the motility of the urinary bladder. This effect can be explained with cutaneo-visceral reflexes. It is considered that the segmental dispersal of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems of urinary bladder is related with the localization of the Back-Shu and Huatuo-Jiaji points of the urinary bladder. Particularly, application on the Back-Shu for the treatment of urinary disturbances, bladder disorders and nocturnal enuresis is effective. Back-Shu point corresponds dermatomically to the outlets of the parasympathetic chain of the urinary bladder plexus. Any changes on the motility of the urinary bladder caused by acupuncture application on the Back-Shu and Huatuo-Jiaji points of the urinary bladder can be explained with the modulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
