Acupotomy 

 

Acupotomy is a new type of non-invasive surgery using a small needle-scalpel invented by Professor Zhu Hanzhang around 30 years ago. The name comes from first five letters in "acupoint" and the last four in "anatomy".  This new technique is used to treat chronic injuries, as well soft tissue disorders and the abnormal bony growths that cause acute pain. Combining techniques from acupuncture and surgery, acupotomy demands an extraordinarily perceptive three-dimensional understanding of human anatomy from its practitioners.

As a new system of medical science, acupotomology bridges the basic theories of traditional Chinese and modern Western medicine. A modern theory of channels and collaterals is a major part of acupotomology philosophy. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body contains a series of channels and collaterals, also called the "the third conductive passage" because it exists independent of the nervous and circulatory systems.

With acupomotology, modern science has finally found the three conductive systems exist.
