Needle twisting
搓针 〔搓針〕 cuō zhēn
Also unidirectional twirling. A needle manipulation technique whereby the needle, after being inserted, is twisted in one direction as cotton is twisted to make a thread. This method produces a strong needle sensation. It should be applied gently without excessive force to prevent the needle tip catching on the flesh, which can cause pain.
