Introduction
Small needle knife bloodletting therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that involves stimulating specific acupuncture points and performing minor bloodletting to achieve regulatory and therapeutic effects. If this procedure is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid potential bodily harm caused by improper operation. Should any discomfort occur during treatment, prompt consultation with a doctor is advised.
Generally, small needle knife bloodletting therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that involves stimulating specific acupoints and inducing slight bleeding to achieve therapeutic and regulatory effects. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Prepare the small needle knife and related instruments, and sterilize them to ensure an aseptic procedure.
2. Select appropriate acupoints for stimulation and bloodletting. Common points include the Hegu point, located at the midpoint of the radial side of the second metacarpal bone on the back of the hand, and the Fengchi point, found in the depression between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the trapezius muscle.
3. Gently insert the small needle knife into the skin and rotate or move it up and down to stimulate the tissue.
4. After completing the acupoint stimulation, lightly nick the skin surface at the acupoint with the small needle knife to draw a small amount of blood.
5. Closely monitor the patient’s response throughout the treatment, including pain sensation, bleeding condition, and post-treatment comfort.
6. After bloodletting, properly clean and dress the wound to promote proper healing.
If this procedure is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 medical institution and perform it under the guidance of a qualified physician to avoid bodily harm due to improper operation. Should any discomfort occur during treatment, consult a doctor promptly.
