Yang Linking 5 – Jianjing, GB21

GB21, also known as Jianjing, is an important acupuncture point on the Gallbladder meridian, often used to relax the shoulder muscles.

GB21 is located at the highest point of the shoulder, roughly midway between the withers and the shoulder joint.

Jianjing can help release tension in the shoulder area and promote blood circulation. It is also used for general muscle issues.

This point should be used with caution as it is close to important structures. Always consult a professional if unsure.

GB21 is located on the line connecting the highest point of the withers to the acromion, about halfway, in the trapezius muscle (cervical part).

GB21 is used to treat shoulder stiffness, muscle tension, local pain, and to promote Qi flow along the Gallbladder meridian.

Caution with deep needling to avoid injury to nerves, vessels, or the lung. Do not use in pregnant mares.
