Description

How the procedure works

Needle-knife is an innovative rehabilitation method combining the principles of classical acupuncture with targeted action on the central nervous system. A special needle with a flat, blade-like tip combines acupuncture with micro-release of tissue adhesions, helping to free trapped nerves, reduce tissue swelling, improve microcirculation, and relieve pain.

According to the clinic, regular procedures help activate motor function, develop speech skills, improve cognitive ability, and normalize blood circulation — the method is especially used for CP and developmental delay.

What parents should know

The standard course is 15 daily procedures with a 15-day break between courses; a full course costs 1,470 yuan, with consumables (lidocaine, syringes, iodine) costing an additional 100 yuan.
