振 法

1. 振 法 Vibrating Manipulation

2. 【概念 Concept 】 以中指端或手掌面为着力点，用前臂伸、屈肌群小幅度、快速地交替收缩所产生的轻柔振颤，持续地作用于体表治疗部位的手法，称为振法或振颤法。

3. Vibrating manipulation is performed by using the forearm to stretch-flex the muscle group with the tip of the middle finger or the palm as the force-giving points; and contracting in a narrow range, swiftly and alternatively to cause soft vibration which keeps effecting on the treated region on the body surface. It is also called “vibrating trembing manipulation”.

4. 【分类 Classification 】 以中指着力者称指振法；以手掌着力者称掌振法。 The manipulation with the middle finger as the force-giving point is called “finger-vibrating manipulation”; that with the palm as the force-giving point is called “palm-vibrating manipulation”.

5. 【动作结构Structure of Operation】 1.掌振时，手掌与治疗部位贴平，肘略低于腕；中指振时，指伸直，掌指关节屈曲100°左右，指端垂直放置于穴点上，腕关节略屈。

6. In palm-vibrating manipulation, the palm is pressed close to the treated region,and the elbow should be slightly lower to the wrist.In finger-vibrating manipulation,the doctor straightly stretches his middle finger with the metacarpophalangeal joint flexed for about 100 degress,vertically puts the tip of the finger on the point with the wrist joint slightly flexed.

7. 2.动作时，前臂的腕屈肌群与腕伸肌群持续地交替收缩与放松，使手的屈伸动作在每一次短促的振动终了时，迅速地发生逆转，于是就产生了振颤。频率约为每秒钟8~12次。2.动作时，前臂的腕屈肌群与腕伸肌群持续地交替收缩与放松，使手的屈伸动作在每一次短促的振动终了时，迅速地发生逆转，于是就产生了振颤。频率约为每秒钟8~12次。

8. In operation, the wrist of the forearm’s flexing and stretching muscle groups are continuously and alternatively contracted and relaxed to make the movements of flexing and stretching of the hand reverse swiftly after each short vibration, so that vibration and quiver are caused.Its frequency is about 8~12 times per second.

11. 【注意事项Precaution 】 本法在操作过程中，术者要精神集中，呼吸调匀，气沉丹田，并将意念从丹田提起，沿术手内侧运引至掌中劳宫穴或中指端，做到以意引气，以气生力，以力发振，动作自然、流畅、协调、统一。切不可闭气用强力“硬屏”而发振，这样不但手法不能持久，而且，久之必损正气造成自伤。

12. In operating this manipulation, the doctor should concentrate his attention, regulate his breath evenly, direct his qi through concentration down to Dantian and direct the flow of qi up from Dantian by his with, and direct the flow of qi from the in side of the operating hand to Laogong point of the palm or the tip of the middle finger.

13. The operation should direct his strength through concentration by his will, produce force with the flow of qi and vibration with the force. The operation should be accomplished naturally, fluently, harmoniously and uniformly.Vibration by holding his breath strongly is prohibited, for the manipulation can not remain for a long time, and in the course of time, it would destroy the vital-qi resulting in autolesion.

14. 【功效Effect】 具有镇静安神、明目益智、温中理气、消积导滞调节肠胃蠕动等功能。 It has the effects of tranquilizing and allaying excitement, improving vision and intelligence, warming the middle-jiao and regulating the flow or qi, promoting digestion and removing stagnated food, regulating enterogastric peristalsis,etc.

15. 【临床应用Clinical Application】 • 本法可用于全身各部经穴，尤其适用于头面部与胸腹部。 • This manipulation can be applied to all the point on the body, especially to the craniofacial region and the thoracico-abdominal region.

16. 对失眠、健忘、焦虑、植物神经功能紊乱、胃肠功能失调、运动员赛前紧张等有显效。对失眠、健忘、焦虑、植物神经功能紊乱、胃肠功能失调、运动员赛前紧张等有显效。 • It has evident effects on insomnia, amnesia, anxiety, vehetative nerve functional disturbance, gastrointestinal dysfunction, tension of athletes before match, etc.
