1.What is the mechanism of small needle knife therapy for chronic diseases? A: It is mainly a closed surgical loosening of chronic soft tissue lesions, and also plays a comprehensive mechanism of the theory of Chinese medicine meridians and collaterals, the doctrine of imbalance in the dynamic balance of body stress, the doctrine of sterile soft tissue injury and the doctrine of immunity, etc. This is a kind of therapy between acupuncture and surgery, if patients pay attention to maintenance after treatment, strengthen exercise and no longer strain, then small acupuncture therapy can achieve This has been confirmed by a large number of clinical practice. 2.What are the main diseases treated by small acupuncture therapy? A: Mainly cervical spondylosis, neck and shoulder pain, lumbar and leg pain (including lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc protrusion, osteophytes, etc.) caused by various chronic soft tissue injuries. Tennis elbow, heel pain, tenosynovitis, various joint ligament injuries, as well as local soft tissue permanent pain caused by sprains and contusions, crush injuries, bone injuries, surgery or intramuscular injections, etc., especially many patients with chronic pain, acupuncture has the advantage that other treatment means can not be compared. 3.Is a small needle knife a knife? Is there any pain when doing acupuncture surgery? A: Small needle knife is a kind of needle is not a needle, like a knife is not a knife treatment equipment, is a tip only 0.8 mm wide blade of the needle tool, into the skin, there is no pain, only the lesion loosened when there is a strong sense of acid, and the appearance of acidity two or three seconds after the operation is over, the general patients can tolerate. 4.Is there any danger in needle knife surgery? Will there be the possibility of injury to the nerve vessels? A: No. We have the correct etiology and pathology guidance, familiar with anatomical common sense, scientific and accurate targeting and needle approach can avoid large blood vessels and nerves, so generally will not cause large neurovascular damage, not to mention the internal organs, so there should not be any concern. From our hospital to carry out acupuncture therapy since 5 years, treating nearly 3000 cases of patients, no medical disputes. 5.After acupuncture treatment, is it better to go back with traction and massage? A: Not necessarily, it depends on the patient’s specific situation, some diseases need to be combined with manipulation, and some diseases may be aggravated by traction and tui-na again, to each patient we will have the corresponding advice, so try not to “treat too aggressively”. 6.After acupuncture treatment, sometimes the local pain is aggravated, why is that? A: The reaction of each patient after acupuncture is different, most patients sometimes have three days to aggravate the reaction of the needle site, individual weakness, diabetes patients may be longer to aggravate the reaction, this is normal. The appearance and severity of the reaction is closely related to the length of the disease, the heavier the lesion site, the longer the time, the smaller the reaction, and the opposite aggravation. Therefore, it is said that “the longer the course of the disease, the better the treatment effect”. 7.After treatment, why do some patients with low back pain have more pain and swelling below the hip to the calf? A: For patients with low back pain, it is the most common lower limb reaction, and serious patients cannot get out of bed. This is caused by the sudden increase in excitability of the nerves that have been compressed in the lower limbs for a long time. After treatment, if the symptoms have shifted to below the calf and there is no pain in the waist and hip, you can suspend the follow-up and continue to rest, and the symptoms of the lower limbs will subside naturally. 8.Why are the follow-up time and number of treatments different for each person? A: The interval between follow-up examinations is 1-2 weeks, and the number of follow-up examinations is determined by the size of the pain site, the number of pain points and the nature of the disease, in principle, each treatment point is not repeated, and the main purpose of the follow-up examination is to find the parts covered by the last major pain points until all the pain points disappear. According to our treatment experience, it is generally possible to have 1-2 sessions for heel bone spur, tenosynovitis, tennis elbow and other diseases, 3-5 sessions for knee osteoarthritis, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, neck and shoulder syndrome, and 5-8 sessions for more complicated back and leg pain diseases such as lumbar synostosis and spinal stenosis. Therefore, the number of treatments varies from person to person, and we will generally explain to patients according to their conditions during the initial consultation, and patients should also cooperate closely and refrain from being anxious. 9.Since small acupuncture therapy is a good treatment method for the cause of the disease, why do some patients have pain again after being cured several years ago? A: Generally there are two cases, the first case, can not be understood as “relapse”, should be “re-strain”. Due to the patient’s strain at work, the accumulation of strain (i.e. chronic strain) or acute strain can cause pain like any normal person, and this kind of pain is different from infectious diseases, and there is no immune function after healing. The second situation is that chronic neck, shoulder, back and leg pain is one of the “three persistent diseases” that plague human beings, and its real mechanism has not been fully understood by human beings, so there is still a long way to go for the real cure of this disease. To give a realistic example, how many common diseases in life such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, etc. can be truly cured without recurrence. Therefore, you should not have unrealistic expectations for acupuncture. 10.What are the problems to pay attention to after acupuncture? A: First of all, we must pay attention to rest and proper functional exercise, especially for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and we will make appropriate rehabilitation exercise plans according to the patient’s condition. Second, pay attention to not contaminating the wound by bathing and other factors within 1-2 days after surgery. Doing the above two points has a very important role in ensuring the therapeutic effect of needle knife. 11.What are the characteristics of small needle knife therapy? A: Mainly with a wide range of indications, less pain, short course of treatment, fast recovery, less chemical costs, long-term efficacy, etc., simply summarized as: convenient, fast, safe, effective, inexpensive, so the people are very popular.
