Function of press needle
Press needle is a pushpin-shaped needle with a flat handle & a needle body about 1-2 cm long, and a diameter of 0.3-0.9 mm.
When used, the needle body can be inserted under the skin, which is a miniature acupuncture needle for subcutaneous burial, and can retain the needle for a long time.
Acupuncture therapy belongs to the traditional acupuncture in the floating thorn and shallow thorn, shallow puncture is to adjust the health qi, stimulate the body’s external function, to achieve the purpose of curing diseases, the purpose of leaving needles is to adjust the climate or qi, and finally achieve qi and blood’s regulation, yin and yang balance.
From a modern medical point of view, the skin layer is interspersed with cutaneous nerve endings.
Acupuncture stimulates nerve endings, excites their nerves and travels along the corresponding nerve conduction pathways to the central nervous system – spinal cord and brain, thereby activating nervous system regulation and stimulating the release of histamine, prostaglandins, cytokines and other chemicals, which can affect blood circulation and ultimately achieve the effect of pain relief.
Long-term retention of needles can adjust endogenous substances through acupoint stimulation, and play a regulatory and therapeutic role in target organs after the integration of neuro-endocrine-immune complex network regulatory functions.
Press needle has the following characteristics:
(1) As the needle diameter is extremely thin and the needle length is very short, the needle will not pierce the internal organs and deep tissues, so the treatment is particularly safe.
(2) Since the nerves and capillaries under the skin are extremely rich, it is the site where acupuncture produces the best electrochemical effect, so subcutaneous is the part with the best effect of acupuncture.
(3) Due to the long time of needle burial, and the increase of local self-coordination and blood circulation repair with movement during needle burial, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on acupuncture points is greatly increased, so that it can receive excellent curative effects.
For many reasons, it is difficult for many diseases to find the best acupuncture duration time with universal regularity, and it is difficult to administer acupuncture to patients with disease changes at the best treatment time to obtain the best effect. Usage of round-the-clock continuous needle burial treatment can solve the above problems well.
Numerous studies have shown that needles can help to heal a wide range of diseases such as:
1. Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue: cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, lumbar disc herniation, knee osteoarthritis.
2. Eyes and appendages: myopia, styes.
3. Skin and subcutaneous tissue: acne, flat warts.
4. Mental and behavioral disorders: insomnia, depression.
5. Gynecology: dysmenorrhea.
6. Respiratory system: hiccups, asthma, allergic rhinitis.
7. Nervous system: hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, migraine, trigeminal neuralgia. 8. Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases: weight loss.
