Is the knife a scalpel? How is it different from the needles used in traditional Chinese acupuncture?
A needle knife is a therapeutic instrument that looks like a needle but not a needle, and looks like a knife but not a knife. It is a needle tool with a tip of only 0.8 millimeters of blade, which is slightly thicker than an ordinary acupuncture needle.

This is about the mechanism of treatment of small needle knife, mainly on the chronic soft tissue lesion site of the closed peeling loosening, but also play the theory of Chinese medicine meridian theory theory, the body stress dynamic balance disorders, soft tissue aseptic injury theory and immunology theory and so on the many aspects of the integrated mechanism, this is a kind of therapy between acupuncture and surgery, with a convenient, It is a kind of therapy between acupuncture and surgery, which is convenient, fast, safe, efficient, less painful, inexpensive and so on.
Why does the knife work?
Because we belong to the Guxi School of Needle Knife, Guxi Needle Knife on the traditional neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain diseases have a unique understanding of the etiology of the disease, while combining the advantages of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and meridian and scalpel peeling and loosening, usually a lot of patients to help over to stand and walk out of the bitter face to come over and leave with a smile, and the same time, with the industry has a unique, self-sustaining theoretical system, the effectiveness of the treatment is also The majority of patients and peers have been recognized.

In particular, many patients with chronic pain, needle knife has other treatment means incomparable advantages.
Will there be an open wound with the needle knife? Is there any pain for the patient during the procedure?
Although the name of the small knife has a "knife" word, in fact, only a tip of only 0.8 mm blade of the needle, slightly thicker than the ordinary acupuncture needle, into the skin, almost no pain, only in the lesion parts of the loosening of a strong sense of acidity, and the emergence of acidity, two or three seconds of the operation on the The operation will be over in two or three seconds, and the majority of patients can tolerate it. At the same time, the eye of the needle is almost invisible, after the end of the operation with a band-aid on the can, can be treated as you go.
What is the danger of needle knife operation? Is there a risk of injury to the nerves and blood vessels?
No. We have the correct etiology and pathology. We have the correct etiology and pathology guidance, familiar with human anatomy, scientific and accurate positioning and needle method can avoid large blood vessels and nerves, will not cause large neurovascular damage, not to mention injury to internal organs, so there should be no such concern.
Can acupuncture replace open surgery?
Traditional Western surgery for cervical and lumbar spine disease is not only painful and costly, but also has relatively more post-operative complications, and a certain percentage of patients will have varying degrees of sequelae, and once the surgery fails, there is no better way to treat it. Surgery is one of the ways to solve some of the pain, but it only solves some of the pain caused by compression and numbness in the hands and feet, but the normal structure of the spine has been damaged after the surgery, so that the patient is not able to perform medium and heavy physical activities and is prone to re-emergence of the disease. In the above situation, many patients are not too willing to surgery, but at the same time, needle knife as a conservative treatment method, and surgical treatment complement each other, the two are not antagonistic relationship, and can not completely replace the surgery, for example, disc herniation patients, the nucleus pulposus has been most or completely out of the nucleus pulposus, it is necessary to carry out surgery as soon as possible.
Are there any contraindications to needle-knife therapy?
Yes, we do not recommend needle knife therapy for some patients with severe heart disease, kidney disease, severe skin disease, extreme weakness, uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, and a particular fear of needle knives. Another point to note, the small knife after all belongs to the invasive operation, the current needle knife community does not have a unified standard of operation, the practitioner's technology varies, we recommend that patients and friends try to go to the regular hospital to find qualified doctors to avoid some unnecessary medical risks.
