What is the endothermic needle technique?
Endothermic needle technology is a treatment technique that combines modern thermostatic heating technology with needle loosening, using special needles into the body at acupuncture points or muscles, and supplemented with thermostatic heating of the needle body.
Internal heat needle technology originated from traditional acupuncture treatment, that is, needles on moxibustion (in acupuncture treatment, at the end of the needle lit moxa on the needle body heating, to improve clinical efficacy), but the traditional acupuncture treatment exists: heavy smoke affecting air quality, uncontrollable temperature, local burns, burns and other problems. Internal heat needle treatment instrument (developed by Dr. Rong He) solves the above problems, which makes the internal heating of the needle body even, no smoke, and the constant temperature can be adjusted, and the clinical application is safe and effective.
What diseases can be treated with endothermic needle technology?
This technology is applicable to chronic pain caused by soft tissue injury and osteoarthrosis in various parts, including: cervicogenic headache, cervical spondylosis, myofasciitis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, thoracic small joint disorder, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar small joint disorder, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar degenerative osteoarthrosis, lumbar muscle strain, sacroiliac arthritis, hip arthritis, knee osteoarthrosis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain and other diseases.
What is the principle of endothermic needle technology for treating diseases?
Under the guidance of Chinese medicine meridian theory, internal heat acupuncture technique selects acupoints according to the meridians and treats with evidence, which has the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, invigorating blood and opening the channels. Common soft tissue injuries and chronic pain caused by bone and joint diseases belong to the category of “paralysis” in Chinese medicine. According to the theory of “warmth for labor” and “heat for cold” in Su Wen Zhi Zhen Da Lun, the internal heat acupuncture therapy uses acupuncture points to unblock the meridians, so that the flow of qi and blood in the meridians will be smooth, then the paralysis will be cleared; with the warmth of the acupuncture body, the wind and cold will be dispersed and the cold and damp will be dissolved; with the internal heat acupuncture The corresponding back acupuncture point is used to warm the liver and kidney, thus playing a role in treating diseases.
With the guidance of western medical theory, the endothermic acupuncture technique can loosen soft tissues such as muscle starting and stopping points, muscle belly and fascia by acupuncture, which can have a relaxing effect on contracted soft tissues and is less likely to recur. Experimental research has found that: endothermic needling has the effect of loosening and repairing spastic degenerated muscle tissue, promoting myocyte regeneration and revascularization; it also has the effect of promoting local blood circulation, reducing myofascial tension and sterile inflammation, thus improving the spastic degeneration of myofascial ischemia, and playing a role in the treatment and prevention of disease.
Advantages of endothermic needle technology.
Constant temperature: the heating material of the endothermic needle is inside the needle body, so that the tip to the needle body can be uniformly heated; and the heating temperature of the needle body can be adjusted between 38℃-60℃, and remain constant.
Safety: Before performing endothermic needle treatment, strict sterilization is required, and patients needling treatment area, routine iodine, 75% alcohol skin disinfection. After disinfection of the physician’s hand, wear sterile gloves for endothermic needle treatment.
Effective: This technique has good near-term and long-term efficacy in treating chronic pain caused by soft tissue injury and osteoarthrosis, which can both treat pain and effectively prevent disease recurrence.
Treatment process of endothermic needle technique:
Pointing, disinfection, needling, needle retention, needle initiation. The needle is left in place for 20 minutes, and 3-5 treatments are a course of treatment.
Precautions for the endothermic needle technique.
1, timely meal before treatment, avoid receiving treatment on an empty stomach.
2, suffering from cardiac, cerebrovascular disease and other acute and chronic diseases, before treatment should inform the doctor of the condition, and take the relevant drugs orally on time.
3, patients taking anticoagulant drugs, need to inform the doctor, the doctor will determine whether they can receive endothermic needle treatment.
4. Defecate in time before treatment.
5. After the treatment, the patient should not wet the treatment site within 48-72 hours.
Contraindications to the endothermic needle technique
1., too tired, highly nervous, hungry people should not needling.
2. Those suffering from diabetes with poor blood sugar control.
3. Patients with abnormal coagulation function, or suffering from serious cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, or abnormal liver or kidney function or suffering from mental illness.
4.Patients who suffer from needle sickness.
5. Patients with local skin infection from needling.
6. Women during pregnancy.
