Acupuncture needle manufacturers introduce the operation of thick needles

  A relevant person from acupuncture needle manufacturers said that the structure of thick needles is the same as that of filigree needles, which is divided into needle tip, needle body, needle root, needle handle and needle tail. However, the thickness specification is not the same as that of the filigree needle. The diameter of the needle body of the thick needle is 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, O. 8mm, 1.2mm, lengths ranging from 10 to 33em. The tip of the thick needle should be round but not blunt, sharp but not sharp. And its main operation method is:
  1. Needle insertion
 (1) Needle insertion method: prick the thumb and forefinger to clamp the lower end of the needle body, expose the needle tip for 4 to 5 minutes, align the acupoints, and stab people quickly. Apply to thick muscles.
 (2) Clamping and pressing into the needle method: Use the thumb and middle finger of the pricking hand to hold the needle body, press the needle tail with the index finger, and pierce quickly. This method applies to the back.
 (3) Twisting needle insertion method: hold the needle body by pressing, puncture the needle handle by holding the needle, and at the same time twist and press down to penetrate. This method is suitable for the abdomen with soft skin.
  2. After the thick needle is inserted into the needle, there is generally a strong feeling. If strong stimulation is required, it can be lifted and inserted 6 to 7 times. The effect is better if there is a discharge sensation after acupuncture, but it is not suitable for children to lift and insert too much. If it is used for patients with muscle atrophy, the curling muscle lifting and insertion method can be used. At this time, the muscle fibers have been wrapped around the needle body, and then the needle is lifted up and down several times. Lifting and inserting 2 to 3 times is moderate stimulation, and leaving the needle without lifting and inserting is weak stimulation.
  3. The needle can be released when the purpose of acupuncture is achieved. When the needle is released, a squeezed alcohol cotton ball should be used to rub the needle hole to avoid bleeding. For the real heat syndrome, it is better not to press, so that it can release a small amount of blood.
  4. Principle of acupuncture Because the thick needle is thicker and more irritating, the acupuncture method should be flexibly adopted according to the patient's constitution, condition, and location. Deep thorns should be carried out in the prosperous muscles, such as the buttocks; shallow thorns or along the skin should be used in the shallow and deep parts of the muscles, such as the head and neck, back, chest and abdomen. For all kinds of paralysis, paralysis, acute diseases should use strong stimulation without leaving needles. For chronic diseases, it is advisable to keep the needle instead of increasing the stimulation; for those with unresponsive nerves, it is better to stimulate strongly; for those with sensitive nerves, it is better to stimulate weakly, and the needle can be released by puncturing quickly.
  5. Needle retention: The back Shu point is generally retained for 1-2 hours, and for some diseases, the needle can be retained for 3 to 4 hours or longer. Others should use strong stimulation without leaving needles.
