Small needle knife is an extension of acupuncture therapy, which is a combination of surgical scalpel and traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture therapy. This therapy has certain effect on the treatment of cervical spondylosis, but it also needs to be classified into the types of cervical spondylosis.
