Description
Estimated cost for Floating Needle Therapy at general public hospitals in China is about ¥140-400, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥200-500, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Primary clinical uses include management of musculoskeletal pain (e.g., chronic low back pain, shoulder periarthritis, tennis elbow), myofascial trigger point deactivation, post-stroke spasticity reduction, and functional rehabilitation support. It is applied in outpatient TCM clinics, sports medicine, and integrative pain centers for patients seeking non-pharmacological, minimally invasive interventions.
Normal Range
Floating Needle Therapy (Fu Zhen) is not a laboratory diagnostic test with quantifiable biomarkers or numerical reference ranges; it is a manual, non-invasive physical therapy technique involving superficial subcutaneous needling. Therefore, there are no standardized 'normal range' values, units, or measurable indicators such as mmol/L or ng/mL.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A — Fu Zhen Therapy does not produce numerical test results; 'low values' do not apply. Clinical outcomes depend on practitioner skill, patient responsiveness, and treatment parameters (e.g., needle depth, duration, frequency), not quantitative measurements.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A — Fu Zhen Therapy does not yield numerical outputs; 'high values' are not defined. Adverse events (e.g., minor bruising or transient soreness) relate to technique or individual sensitivity—not elevated biomarkers.
