Small needle knife
Small needle knife is a therapeutic tool invented by Mr Zhu Hanzhang in 1970s, which combines the advantages of acupuncture needle and scalpel. Shaped like a needle with a blade at the top, it can not only stimulate the meridians of acupuncture needle, but also cut with a scalpel. After Mr. Zhu Hanzhang invented the small needle knife, he did a lot of research and clinical practice, and published "Small needle knife therapy" and "Principles of needle knife medicine", which marked that the small needle knife changed from a treatment method to a needle knife medicine with a perfect treatment system.
Professor Zhu Hanzhang, founder of acupotomy medicine
Mr. Zhu Hanzhang grew from a grass-roots doctor to the president of the Great Wall Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the director of the Center for Acupuncture and Knife Medicine Research and Education of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Small needle knife has also been popular all over the country since the end of the decade and has grown into needle knife medicine. Small needle knife has gradually expanded from simply treating chronic soft tissue contusion, orthopedic arthropathy and lumbago and leg pain to treating many diseases such as internal medicine, surgery, dermatology, ENT, pediatrics and so on! After the death of Mr. Zhu Hanzhang, various schools of acupuncture and acupotomy medicine developed.
So what are the advantages of a small needle knife? I am mainly engaged in pain diseases, so I also talk about the advantages of small needle knife from the treatment of pain diseases. First, the curative effect is remarkable. Small needle knife has a good effect on many diseases. For example, stenosing tenosynovitis is often only once. Second, the trauma is small, leaving no scars. The shape of the needle knife determines that the skin wound is very small during treatment, with only one needle eye, which does not need to be sutured like a scalpel incision, leaving a scar. The damage to body tissue is also small and easy to recover. Third, the treatment time is short. Generally speaking, an operation only takes a few minutes. Fourth, the pain is small. The patient has no obvious pain after operation, has little fear of treatment and is willing to accept it. Fifth, the treatment cost is low.
It can be seen that acupotomy medicine is an excellent medical therapy. Why does someone belittle the small needle knife? Open the network search, cases of injuries caused by small needle knives abound, mainly including poor curative effect, infection, physical injury and so on. In fact, it's not the needle knife therapy that has a problem, but the person who makes the needle knife has a problem!
Needle-knife therapy has been actively promoted throughout the country and even around the world from the beginning, so it can develop rapidly. It is a major feature to transfer to a training class for tuition. At the same time, the rapid development has also brought the disadvantages of charging for class study, and the people who come to study are mixed. Some doctors have a solid and clear anatomy of basic medical knowledge, so it is good to learn it. Some doctors have a poor medical foundation and can't learn well without a clear anatomy. What's more, in order to earn training fees, some people hold needle knife training courses with the slogan "Zero foundation, 7 days crash". You can imagine the doctor who came out of such a training class!
Such a doctor first has a vague understanding of the disease, has no clear diagnosis, does not know which muscle nerve has a problem, and does not know where it is tied. So it is wrong to post it once, and it has no effect. Second, the anatomical site is unclear. After all, the needle knife is a closed operation, and you can't see it when you go down there. Whether there are great vessels and nerves in this part and how to avoid them all require experience and feeling. Patients vary in height, height, fat and thin. Therefore, if you are not familiar with anatomy, the needle knife is prone to problems. Third, the concept of sterility is poor and disinfection is not strict. Doctors who are engaged in surgical orthopedics and other surgical related majors in hospitals have a good concept of sterility and strict disinfection when making needle knives. With sterile gloves, there are fewer infections. Fourth, overtreatment. Some can't strictly grasp the indications of acupotomy. Every therapy has an incurable disease. Suitable for needle knife, but not suitable for needle knife will cause problems. Some of them are not easy to do several times, and they destroy parts excessively.
Therefore, small needle knife therapy is a very good clinical treatment. However, it should be carefully considered when choosing a treating doctor. Be sure to choose regular medical institutions and experienced doctors. In this way, the secondary injury caused by treatment will be less!
