Medical information
SP13 is located on the line between SP12 and SP14, at the level of the ventral end of the last rib, in the area of the abdominal muscles.
SP13 is used for treating abdominal congestion, colic, weakness of the abdominal muscles, and to support the function of the Fu organs.
SP13 is located in close proximity to abdominal organs, especially the small intestine and peritoneum. Deep needling should be avoided to minimize the risk of perforation.
