Adjunct Placement for Acupuncture Points and Trigger Points for Leg Pain

Introduction

The Primary Placement in the Leg Pain Treatment Protocol is the recommended starting point. For localised leg pain, the protocol recommends placing the device directly over the area of discomfort; for sports injuries, devices may be positioned along the affected muscle or muscles.

Adjunct Placements can provide additional options where specific acupuncture points or myofascial trigger points are supported by the Q Magnets Adjunct Placements reference. Selection should follow the Field | Dose | Placement principle, matching the field and dose to an appropriate placement based on symptoms, tenderness, muscular involvement, movement restriction and individual response. However, the current Adjunct Placements reference does not contain a specific Leg Pain Adjunct Placement protocol, so no leg-specific acupuncture or trigger points should be added by extrapolating from other conditions.

Recommended Additional Placements

Acupuncture Points

No acupuncture points are currently specified for Leg Pain in the authoritative Adjunct Placements reference. Points listed for hip, knee, ankle, foot or other conditions should not automatically be transferred to a general Leg Pain protocol.

Myofascial Trigger Points

No myofascial trigger points are currently specified for Leg Pain in the authoritative Adjunct Placements reference. Although the Treatment Protocol allows placement along affected muscles for sports injuries, it does not identify specific trigger points that can be added to this Adjunct Placement page.

Practical Placement Guidance

Begin with the Primary Placement described in the Leg Pain Treatment Protocol:

For localised pain, position the device directly over the area of discomfort.
For sports injuries, the protocol recommends placing devices approximately 25 mm (1 inch) apart along the affected muscle or muscles.
Where symptoms are more specifically associated with the hip, knee, ankle or foot, refer to the corresponding condition-specific Treatment Protocol and Adjunct Placement guidance rather than applying placements from those regions indiscriminately.
Do not add acupuncture or trigger-point placements to a general Leg Pain application unless they are specifically supported by the relevant Q Magnets Adjunct Placement guidance.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Leg pain can have different underlying causes, and the current Q Magnets Adjunct Placements reference does not specify a standalone set of acupuncture or myofascial trigger-point placements for general leg pain. Persistent, unexplained, worsening or severe symptoms should be professionally assessed.
