浮針療法是1996年符仲華在第一軍醫大學工作期間研發的一種新型針刺療法,是運用一次性浮針,在具有肌激痛點肌肉周圍或鄰近四肢皮下組織進行掃散手法的針刺活動,是一種針刺治療方法(needling therapy),於操作時常常配合再灌注活動(reperfusionapproach, RA)。浮針療法可運用於治療軟組織傷痛、內外婦兒科等臨床各科疼痛類疾病,於操作上有相對簡單、快速、安全無副作用等特點。浮針療法來源於傳統針灸,卻不拘泥于傳統中醫理論,而與現代基礎醫學緊密結合,是古典針灸學的現代化,可稱之為現代針灸,並有待研究者進一步探究其療效與機轉。
Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) is a new needling therapy invented by Dr. Zhonghua Fu in 1996 when he was working in the First Military Medical University. FSN uses the disposable FSN needle to horizontally penetrate subcutaneous tissue around muscles with myofascial trigger points or in adjacent limbs. After the FSN needle is placed to the subcutaneous tissue, the swaying movement should be performed. FSN can manage various painful problems from clinical various departments and especially focus on musculoskeletal pain. It is more effective and safer than traditional acupuncture. Fu's Subcutaneous Needling originates from the traditional acupuncture but without sticking to the traditional theory, and closely combines with modern basic medicine. So it is a result of the modernization of classic traditional acupuncture, and so it is called modern acupuncture. Following research on the effect and the theory will be a topic for the researchers.
