What is FSN/ Modern Acupuncture ?-Fu's Subcutaneous Needling
Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling (FSN), also called Floating Acupuncture (FA) is a new acupuncture therapy which is invented by Chinese medical doctor, Dr Zhong-hua Fu in 1996. This acupuncture technique is by using a modified acupuncture needle to stimulate areas where nearby trigger points, or taut muscles, tightened muscles so as to treat musculoskeletal conditions and other conditions.
Normal or traditional acupuncture techniques involves by inserting needles to penetrating skin, subcutaneous and muscular tissues and then stimulating the points. While FSN needle only penetrating to subcutaneous layer and stimulating on this layer. Therefore, this technique has less pain and less sensation on the patents, however, it can produce an incredible pain relieving effect. For some acute pain condition, such as muscular and ligaments strains, tennis elbow, or acute back pain, it can have almost instant pain-relieving results.
Is It Safe?
Absolutely!
Unlike traditional acupuncture, FSN involves shallow needle insertion—just 0.2mm beneath the skin—making it an exceptionally safe and minimally invasive therapy.

WHAT IS FSN?
Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling (FSN), also called Floating Acupuncture (FA) is a new acupuncture therapy which is invented by Chinese medical doctor, Dr Zhong-hua Fu in 1996. This acupuncture technique is by using a modified acupuncture needle to stimulate areas where nearby trigger points, or taut muscles, tightened muscles so as to treat musculoskeletal conditions and other conditions.

While FSN needle only penetrating to subcutaneous layer and stimulating on this layer. Therefore, this technique has less pain and less sensation on the patents, however, it can produce an incredible pain relieving effect. For some acute pain condition, such as muscular and ligaments strains, tennis elbow, or acute back pain, it can have almost instant pain-relieving results.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Tightened muscles (TM) and Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs), which are commonly associated with pain. Myofascial Trigger Points are described as hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that are associated with palpable nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers. Spontaneous Electrical Activity(SEA), one of the MTrP features, can be recorded easily by electromyographers.
FSN needle is a disposable dry needle. The needle consists of a solid stainless-steel needle and a casing soft pipe. The needle is accurate delivered into subcutaneous level by an applicator device. Once the needle is in subcutaneous level, the needle tip is withdrawn and rest into the casting tube, then a left-right swipe manipulation, like windscreen swipe, is performed. After few minutes manipulation, the tightened muscles will be relaxed and in most of cases, the pain caused by tightened muscles will decrease or disappear.
The subcutaneous layer can be twitched by mechanical forces, so FSN relieves pain fast and quickly than traditional acupuncture. Our patients describe the FSN as “magical needle”.
Based on Tightened Muscles theories, FSN has been extended to other medical conditions, such as chronic nonproductive dry cough, constipation, dizziness, weak bladder, periods pain, or avascular necrosis (AVN).
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN FSN TREAT?
FSN can treat most of pain conditions with very good results. In fact, some conditions can be relieved almost instantly.
EXCELLENT RESULTS, ALMOST INSTANT PAIN RELIEVING ON:
- Severe pain caused by acute sprain/injury such as tendons and ligaments strain;
- Acute muscular strain, such as neck and shoulder pain, back pain.
GOOD RESULTS FOR:
- Tennis elbow
- Shoulder pain/Frozen shoulder
- Neck pain
- Headache
- Low back pain
- Sciatica
- Tendonitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Trigeminal pain
- Avascular Necrosis
- Labyrinthitis
- Weak bladder
- Endometriosis
IS FSN SAFE?
Absolutely, compare to traditional acupuncture technique, it is much safer as it only manipulating on subcutaneous layer. In fact, there is less pain and less sensation from patient (does not require de-qi- needling sensation) after insertion of needle. Our patients love it as it is almost pain free insertion and pain free manipulation.
However, as it is new technique and new concept to acupuncture, it is essential and required that an adequate training must be given. In UK, there are around 300 Chinese medical practitioners have gained training by my teacher Dr Wu, so please do check the qualification of your practitioners.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the points which lie on lines or channels, through the insertion of thin, fine needles at various points on the body. Through centuries of observation, the body’s reaction to each stimulus point and the combination of such points has been noted for their effectiveness in treating different diseases.
In recent years these actions have been systematically refined and verified by modern scientific research methods. Acupuncture is the time tested therapy that has been practised in the China for thousands of years.
The philosophy behind the treatment is that energy lines or meridians circulate around the body. These meridians contain our energy flow or “qi”. It is when this qi is impaired through the body that imbalance and illness occurs. With the insertion of fine needles at various points on the meridian, the energy can be moved or redirected to where it is needed most. In this way the body’s balance can be restored and the illness resolved.
The flow of energy can be disrupted in many ways; emotional upset, physical trauma, poor diet or overwork are all common examples. By examining this underlying cause and how it has affected the body, the most appropriate treatment for the patient can be selected.
Treating the patient as an individual is at the core of the acupuncture treatment and it this that helps allow the body to rebalance itself. Blocked energy can manifest itself in areas that are painful or are particularly cold or hot, or a different colour. These signs can help determine which points are most suitable.
Western medicine has different opinions on how acupuncture works but in short, no one is really sure. However trial after trial consistently proves it effectiveness. Acupuncture also includes other techniques such as cupping, moxibustion or acupressure. Currently, there are different forms of acupuncturists in the West; The members of ATCM only practice Chinese acupuncture which is defined as above.
In our clinic, our practitioners have recently gained a newly developed acupuncture therapy: Fu’s Subcutaneous Needle (FSN) which is more effective for acute and chronic pain conditions.
Generally speaking, acupuncture is better for pain related complaints although acupuncture can be used to treat over 80 conditions recommended by the World Health Organizations.
