I contracted polio at the age of 4, and now I am 50 years old. In winter, my legs swell again.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello
Generally, post-polio syndrome can be corrected through surgery and exercise, especially in cases with a short course of illness and minimal limb atrophy. Needling points can be selected based on the location of paralysis. For the upper limbs, points such as the cervical intercostal spaces, Jianzhen (GB21), Daizhui (GV14), Shenmen (LI10), Shaohai (HT3), Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), and Houxi (SI3) are commonly used, with 2 to 3 points selected per session.
