It is often paired with acupressure point Small Intestine 3 to activate the related extraordinary Wei Mai Vessel. The two points are often combined to treat pain of the lower back, upper back, spine, and neck making the point invaluable in pain management treatments by activating the Yang Heel and Governing (Du Mai) channels.
