Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of healthcare, and particularly to a simple multi-functional physiotherapy device. Background Art
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physiotherapy is an external treatment method based on TCM theory and guided by the meridian theory. It mainly stimulates certain parts or acupoints of the human body to dredge the meridians, regulate the viscera, promote qi and activate blood circulation, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the healthy qi and eliminating pathogenic factors and treating diseases. It has a complete set of treatment techniques, mainly including acupuncture therapy, moxibustion therapy, cupping therapy, bloodletting therapy, scraping therapy, massage therapy, etc.
[0003] Cupping is a commonly used tool in TCM physiotherapy. It uses negative pressure in the cup to adsorb on the local body surface to form suction on acupoints or treatment sites, and is a physical method for treating diseases; acupuncture is to insert filiform needles into the human body to stimulate acupoints to achieve the effect of treating diseases and maintaining health; moxibustion includes the warming and dredging effect caused by the near-infrared thermal radiation converted by the combustion of moxa materials penetrating the skin acupoints and conducting in the meridians; warm needling acupuncture is a method of preventing and treating diseases by adding a burning moxa cone at the tail of the filiform needle after acupuncture, so that its heat energy is transmitted to the body through the needle body. According to the records in TCM textbooks and clinical verification, when acupuncture and cupping are carried out simultaneously (retaining needles for cupping), the efficacy is greatly increased, and when moxibustion and warm needling acupuncture are applied to the same part or acupoint while retaining needles for cupping, the treatment efficacy and efficiency can be further enhanced. In view of the complex structure and single function of the existing TCM physiotherapy products on the market, they cannot perform cupping, acupuncture, warm needling acupuncture, and moxibustion simultaneously with the same instrument, which is inconvenient to use and the physiotherapy effect is not ideal enough.
