This article is to discuss the mechanism of acupuncture for neck type cervical spondylosis (NTCS) based on Heart-Gallbladder theory. NTCS is a clinical frequently-occurring disease, which has a trend of younger. We will explore the fundamental causes of NTCS from the cervical spine biomechanics, and the mechanism of acupuncture for it. The mechanism will be discussed from: the overall adjustment of Spirit and the local adjustment of tendons.
