Under the guidance of Dr Zhu Hanzhang in acupotomy medicine, Dr Hu Chaowei in ultra-micro acupotomy, and Dr Janet Travell's myofascial trigger point theory, Dr. Huang Guojian has devoted himself to the research of Mini Ren Acupuncture Therapy (MRAT) for soft tissue injury pain diseases, which has been applied clinically with excellent results. Dr. Huang Guojian proposed the concepts of "tangible theory of pain," "nodular pain syndrome," and "Ashi point is not the source of pain," to guide the MRA application. With MRA on the superficial fascia causing functional impairment in patients, the treatment targets focus on the origin and insertion points of muscles, myofascial trigger points, and areas of soft tissue scar adhesion and compression. This method helps to release abnormal tension inside pain nodules, eliminate abnormal tension, alleviate inflammatory reactions, and improve blood circulation, while simultaneously directly interrupting the transmission of pain signals from nerve fibers inside and outside the nodules by cutting off the nerve fibers. This achieves a safe, efficient, and immediate analgesic effect. MRA embodies the unparalleled characteristics and advantages of objective diagnosis, precise treatment, and miraculous efficacy, opening a new realm of integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment for soft tissue injury pain with the principle of simplicity and effectiveness!
