Acupoint Selection Techniques

Step 1: Lie prone;
Step 2: Starting from the highest point of the iliac crest at the back of the pelvis, feel inward and downward along the sacral horns on both sides to identify a prominent bony protrusion (the posterior superior iliac spine), and the central prominence of the iliac bone at the same level is the first sacral vertebra;
Step 3: The depression next to the first sacral vertebra is the location of this acupoint.
