Medical information

Du10 is located on the dorsal midline, in the depression between the spinous processes of T6 and T7. Palpation of the spinous processes aids in precise localization.

Du10 is used to treat back stiffness, thoracic pain, cough, and for general Yang tonification. It influences the spinal cord and thoracic region.

When needling Du10, pay attention to depth and direction to avoid injury to underlying structures. Use caution in horses with back problems.
