Abstract EN
The anatomical basis for the concept of acupuncture points/meridians in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has not been resolved.
This paper reviews the fascia research progress and the relationship among acupuncture points/meridians, primo vascular system (PVS), and fascia.
Fascia is as a covering, with common origins of layers of the fascial system despite diverse names for individual parts.
Fascia assists gliding and fluid flow and holds memory and is highly innervated.
Fascia is intimately involved with nourishment of all cells of the body, including those of disease and cancer.
The human body’s fascia network may be the physical substrate represented by the meridians of TCM.
The PVS is a newly found circulatory system; recent increased interest has led to new research and new discoveries in the anatomical and functional aspects of the PVS.
The fasciology theory provides new insights into the physiological effects of acupuncture needling on basic cellular mechanisms including connective tissue mechanotransduction and regeneration.
This view represents a theoretical basis and means for applying modern biomedical research to examining TCM principles and therapies, and it favors a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
