Hi Shmuel,

The needling through usually denoted a deep insertion in the direction of the other point. In this case: P-6. In many instances though, the needle tip actually arrives at the other point's location. This is especially so in a narrow "anatopography" such as the wrist, ear, palm etc.
The use of such a needling technique is usually for the following purposes:
1. Acute conditions involving severe pain
2. Paralysis or numbness
3. Anaesthesia for surgical purposes
For No.1, a good example would be St-38 through to B-57 for acute pain of the shoulder, frozen shoulder, perifocal inflammation etc.
For No.2, a good example would be St-4 through to St-6 in the case of Bell's palsy (Faciaslis - numbness or paralysis of the trigeminus).
For No.3, a good example would be Sj-6 through to P-4 for surgery of the lung.
Sj-5 may be used for any of the possibilities stated above, depending of course on its proper choice for a given condition. It is not uncommon to use it in such a deep technique for paralysis or numbness of the fingers following a MTS (metacarpal tunnel syndrome), or for Renaud syndrome with the addition of moxa).
 O.K. Boaz?
