Acupuncture is a nonpharmacological treatment option for multiple different diseases and symptoms. This system of medical treatment is based on the principle of applying small needles to specific points in the body.

Acupuncture translates to “needle penetration.” Small needles are placed into specific acupuncture points, and acupoints, are identified in TCM as areas to open qi. Qi is arranged into meridians or channels that allow the flow of qi. Traditionally and most commonly, needle penetration is the means of opening qi. Manual pressure, electrical stimulation, laser, heat, and even ultrasound have also been utilized. The application of these modalities is thought to manipulate qi in much the same way that needle penetration would. Acupuncture is mainly safe.

Acupuncture is often used to address a variety of health conditions, including pain management, stress reduction, and the promotion of overall well-being. Some studies suggest that acupuncture may stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and influence the nervous system.

Although classical acupuncture is several thousand years old, modern acupuncture began in China in the middle of the 20th century. Not only does it include the use of acupuncture needles, but it combines traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with Western medicine to form a complete system of integrated East-West medicine. This modern system uses electrical stimulation of various types, including microcurrent therapy, as well as laser, and intravenous and injection of biological substances and low dose pharmaceutical drugs. Acupuncture injection therapy, or AIT, is used extensively in China and all Far Eastern countries where acupuncture is practised.

In Europe, also by the mid-twentieth century, extensive research into homeopathy led to the discovery and development of modern homeopathic preparations called antihomotoxic medicine. Many of these medications are prepared in injectable forms for the practice of Biopuncture, a Western version of AIT.

AIT and Biopuncture are complementary techniques invaluable to physicians for the treatment and management of chronic disease, fatigue syndromes, and chronic pain, and they have been used in anti-aging medicine and medical aesthetics.

In ancient China, TCM practitioners were not only considered acupuncturists and herbalists but also surgeons. They had to learn herbalogy to prescribe herbal formulas for treating internal symptoms. Additionally, they had to master acupuncture to address symptoms, trauma injuries, and perform surgery. Nine different sizes and shapes of needles were used in daily practices, with several dedicated to surgical purposes.

Among various acupuncture treatments, there is one called acupotomology or short acupotomy. Acupotome (Knife Needle) is a relatively new type of non-invasive acupuncture/micro-surgery using a small needle-scalpel, invented by Professor Zhu Hanzhang around 30 years ago in China. It is equivalent to modern-day surgical procedures, where a special acupuncture needle is used to resolve deep-rooted muscular-skeletal scar tissues, pains, or injuries. This slightly thicker and more blunt instrument can get under the skin, breaking apart adhesions and muscle knots more effectively than a regular acupuncture needle. Acupotomology has been widely accepted and applied in clinics in China and another 15 countries worldwide, offering a safe method to eliminate deep-rooted pains.

This technique is employed to treat chronic injuries, soft tissue disorders, and abnormal bony growths causing acute pain. Combining techniques from acupuncture and surgery, acupotomology demands an extraordinarily perceptive understanding of human anatomy from its practitioners.

If you have musculoskeletal-related old injuries or deep-rooted injuries causing persistent pain, acupotomy might be something for you to consider.
