Q Is it dangerous to insert needles or fine blades into the buttocks?
A It is safe because the procedure is performed while confirming the location and depth using ultrasound. Around the sacroiliac joint, the needle targets ligaments and soft tissues, avoiding major nerves and blood vessels; mild bruising and stiffness after the procedure subside within a few days.
Detailed Answer
Fine blade needles are a procedure that directly releases adhered ligaments and soft tissues using a needle with a fine blade at the tip. The stimulation is stronger than that of regular needles, so it can be burdensome if inserted haphazardly; however, it is safe if the procedure is performed while accurately visualizing only the target tissue, avoiding nerves and blood vessels using ultrasound. Mild bruising or stiffness may remain for a few days after the procedure, but it usually disappears naturally.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang performs fine blade needles and pharmacopuncture under ultrasound guidance, confirming depth and location based on the principle of "procedures based on visible evidence." The amount of stimulation is adjusted based on the perspective that stronger stimulation is not necessarily better, but rather that it leads to recovery when appropriate.
