[<i>LIU Zhibin</i>'s experience of acupuncture and <i>tuina</i> in treatment of Parkinson's disease with constipation based on the "<i>sanjiao</i> theory"].
The paper introduces Professor <i>LIU Zhibin</i>'s clinical experience in treatment of Parkinson's disease with constipation by the combined therapy of acupuncture and <i>tuina</i>. Professor <i>LIU</i> believes that constipation in Parkinson's disease involves pathological changes in <i>sanjiao</i> (triple energizers) system, i.e. upper, middle, and lower <i>jiao</i>, and proposes <i>Tiaoshen Tongfu</i> (regulating the mind and <i>fu</i> organs) acupuncture and Chang'an <i>Liu</i>'s <i>tuina</i> manipulation are used to treat Parkinson's disease with constipation based on the "<i>sanjiao</i> theory". In acupuncture, the scalp points of the anterior hairline micro-acupuncture system (Touxue, Shangjiao, Zhongjiao and Xiajiao) are selected, complemented by Baihui (GV20), Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3), Quchi (LI11), Tianshu (ST25), Dachangshu (BL25), Shangjuxu (ST37) and Zhigou (TE6). In <i>tuina</i> manipulation, one finger pushing, rolling and pressing are adopted.
