The sequelae of nerve injury caused by acupuncture are very popular in many health centers. Acupuncture is a therapeutic method of acupuncture, which originated in the Neolithic Age. "Acupuncture" means acupuncture, which treats diseases by needling into human points. Let's share the sequelae of acupuncture injury to nerves.

Sequela of nerve injury caused by acupuncture 1 Every part of the human body has individual requirements on the depth and angle of acupuncture. Such as oblique needling and shallow needling, are mostly used in chest, spine and other parts. At the same time, the blood vessels are rich, even around the great arteries and veins should be avoided.

Generally speaking, under the normal operation of acupuncture professionals, there are few things that hurt the nerves. If it is difficult to feel warm, cold and painful after acupuncture, you should pull out the needle in time, stop acupuncture, and carry out relevant examination and symptomatic treatment at the same time.

According to your question, acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy. Its curative effect is remarkable and its side effects are small, so it is very popular with everyone. However, if the needle is improperly used, it may also hurt the nerves and bring a lot of pain to the patients.

When acupuncture touches the peripheral nerve by mistake, it will immediately feel an electric shock and radiate to the end. Once the injury is caused, sensory and functional disorders may occur in the nerve distribution area. For example:

1, when the facial nerve is damaged, ipsilateral paralysis will occur; Injury of oculomotor nerve can lead to diplopia, drooping upper face and inability of eyeball to turn inward.

2, radial nerve injury will appear hanging wrist; When the median nerve is injured, thumb abduction will occur and fingers will be limited; Injury of ulnar nerve can lead to thenar atrophy and dyskinesia of little finger and ring finger.

3. Injury of sciatic nerve may lead to unfavorable walking, hyperextension of knee joint and unstable walking; Tibial nerve injury will lead to limited adduction of foot, disappearance of Achilles tendon reflex and inability to stand on tiptoe.

The injury of peroneal nerve will lead to the foot drooping, and you can't lift it alone when walking, but take a gait of striding. These are the sequelae of nerve injury, so I listed them. I hope my advice can help you, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Sequela of nerve injury caused by acupuncture 2 There are individual requirements for the depth and angle of acupuncture in various parts of the operation, such as chest and spine, which often use oblique needling and shallow needling, with rich blood vessels.

Even around the great arteries and veins should be avoided. Generally speaking, under the normal operation of acupuncture professionals, there are few things that hurt the nerves. If the nerve is damaged after acupuncture, then the acupuncture should be pulled out in time, so there will be no nerve damage.

According to the acupuncture injury, the specific symptoms are as follows:

1. Accidental injury of median nerve: the palms of thumb, forefinger and middle finger are numb, and some palms are opposite to each other;

2. Radial nerve injury: wrist hanging may occur;

3. Ulnar nerve injury: Claw-shaped hand or thenar muscular atrophy may occur;

4. Injury of peroneal nerve: it may lead to foot drooping and striding gait;

5, sciatic nerve injury: there may be symptoms of walking difficulties.

Acupuncture and acupoint injection can also cause nerve damage. If doctors choose acupoints accurately and skillfully, they can avoid local nerve injury and other problems.

Sequelae of acupuncture nerve injury 3 Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which is the floorboard of acupuncture. Acupuncture has many curative effects, such as dredging meridians, harmonizing yin and yang, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits. And because of its small side effects, it is very popular. However, improper needle application may lead to improper consequences. Some people have acupuncture treatment in private clinics, which will hurt nerves and bring a lot of pain to patients. The following introduces the sequelae of acupuncture injury to nerves.

Sequela of nerve injury caused by acupuncture and moxibustion

The nerve injury in acupuncture is that acupuncture touches peripheral nerves by mistake, and a numbness will radiate to the distal end immediately. Once the injury is caused, sensory disorders may occur in the nerve distribution area, including numbness, fever, pain, loss of touch and warm pain.

At the same time, there are different degrees of dysfunction, which are as follows: (1) facial nerve injury can cause ipsilateral paralysis, unable to drum cheeks, shrug shoulders and wrinkle the forehead; Injury of oculomotor nerve can lead to diplopia, ptosis and enophthalmos. Trigeminal nerve injury may cause facial sensory disturbance; Radial nerve injury (such as improper injection at Quchi point) leads to hanging wrist;

Median nerve injury (improper injection at Neiguan point) can affect thumb abduction, finger flexion and palm opposition; Injury of ulnar nerve (such as improper acupuncture at Shenmen point) can lead to obvious atrophy of thenar muscle and dyskinesia of little finger and ring finger; Sciatic nerve injury can cause stiffness, hyperextension and weakness of knee joint when walking;

Tibial nerve injury (such as improper acupuncture at Zusanli point) may lead to the inability of feet and toes to bend, limited adduction of feet, disappearance of Achilles tendon reflex and plantar reflex, and inability to stand when walking. If the common peroneal nerve is injured, the main symptoms are drooping feet, weakness in extending feet, standing on tiptoe and extending feet to valgus, unable to lift feet when walking, and striding.

How can acupuncture hurt nerves?

Acupoint injection drugs selected during acupuncture may also damage nerves. In order to reduce the physical and chemical stimulation of drugs, drugs with moderate concentration and less irritation should be injected at the deep part of acupoints and peripheral nerve trunks or branches, and the pH value of some drugs can be appropriately reduced, or the concentration of the liquid medicine can be close to the osmotic pressure of tissue fluid.

Generally speaking, when the concentration of liquid medicine is too high, it should be diluted with water for injection; When the concentration is too low, increase the concentration with normal saline. In addition, it should be noted that the solvent of drugs, such as alcohol solution, is not suitable for acupoint injection.

Points for attention in acupuncture and moxibustion

Attention should be paid to the correct position of acupoints and the sense of acupuncture during operation. The choice of filiform needle or injection needle should be fine, and the filiform needle should be more than 28 gauge; Injection needle, No.4 for superficial layer and No.5 dental needle for deep layer.

If the patient has pain, fever and electric shock at the upper and lower acupoints, don't disturb the insertion, but lift the needle tip and wait until this phenomenon disappears before performing manipulation or injecting drugs. It is necessary to distinguish between acupuncture of nerve trunk or branch and stimulation of sensation transmission along meridians;

Sensory transmission along meridians is a special feeling of acid, swelling, numbness and heat. It travels slowly along a certain route (the speed is about 20cm/min), which is obviously different from the nerve transmission characterized by tingling, numbness and fever along the nerve line and cannot be confused.
