Orthopedic spine

Western medicine will massage, massage and adjust the spine of the patient's spine with both hands to reduce the oppression of the spine on the nerves. The operator is called a chiropractor. Dr. Trevor Killian Chai Lin Kai, a visiting lecturer at Canadian Kaisitong College, commented that the obvious difference between spinal correction and China massage is that Chinese massage is based on meridian theory, with acupoints and eight massage techniques as the main points, and the whole and the part are combined; The western spinal orthopedics is based on human anatomy, which focuses on the precise adjustment of the joints between the vertebrae of the spine and the three physiological bends of the human body. It is usually effective for spinal orthopedic surgeons to adjust the joints of patients with subluxation by using the lever mechanics principle of physics.

Massage should be scientific.

Manual massage is one of the more effective treatment measures for cervical spondylosis. Its therapeutic effect can relieve the tension and spasm of neck and shoulder muscles, restore the activity of cervical vertebra, loosen the adhesion between nerve root and soft tissue, widen intervertebral space, enlarge intervertebral foramen, relieve the stimulation and oppression of nerve and blood vessels, and promote local blood circulation, thus achieving the effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, activating collaterals, relieving spasm and pain, and relieving symptoms. At the same time, massaging paralyzed limbs can also reduce muscle atrophy and prevent joint stiffness and joint deformity.

There are many massage methods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as cervical passive stretching and rotation, acupoint massage, spinous process point pressing and pulling, manual traction, heavy pressure massage and so on. The massage methods of western medicine mainly adopt passive activities, including pushing and shaking cervical vertebrae, rotating cervical vertebrae and relaxing muscles. This method is simple and convenient for patients to cooperate. It can not only relieve pain and numbness, but also obviously improve the activity function of cervical vertebra, which is a popular treatment method in the west. In addition to receiving treatment, patients should also take the initiative to exercise and exercise their neck muscles through medical gymnastics. They can do activities in all directions, such as neck extension, neck flexion, rotation, lateral flexion, etc., every time 15 minutes, four times a day, and the movements should be slow and steady, so as not to cause obvious pain. See the relevant chapters in this book for details.

The treatment of manual massage should be operated under the guidance of experienced specialists to prevent accidents. However, because most massage doctors are not orthopedic surgeons, many people are not very clear about the pathological and anatomical characteristics of cervical spondylosis, and they do not have a clear understanding of the possible harm that heavy physical massage may cause to patients with cervical spondylosis. We oppose the application of strong rotation reduction and massage with lifting the head and shaking the head in patients with cervical spondylosis. Because there are many important nerve and vascular tissues inside and outside the cervical spinal canal, there is very limited room for maneuver after cervical spondylosis occurs. If the operation is improper, a few patients may cause irreversible damage to the spinal cord, leading to paralysis and death. Therefore, remind patients to pay special attention not to accept rough massage treatment, gentle massage is sometimes acceptable, but the technique must not be too heavy. Otherwise, the consequences may be unimaginable.

It is generally considered that massage is taboo to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy. We can see that a considerable number of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy have become quadriplegia because of manual massage, especially neck massage, and it is difficult to recover to a better state even after surgery.

In addition, patients with obvious segmental instability of cervical spine may aggravate cervical instability after receiving cervical massage, and may have spinal cord injury leading to quadriplegia, or neck pain and dizziness, so it is also listed as a taboo for manual massage; At the same time, in patients with developmental cervical spinal stenosis, ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of cervical vertebra, hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum, calcification and ankylosing spondylitis, the space for the spinal cord to maneuver in the spinal canal is too small. The neck shake and swing that ordinary people can tolerate. But they can't tolerate it. Massage by hand may aggravate spinal cord injury and cause quadriplegia. Therefore, it is also a contraindication to manual massage.

1, sole

There are more than 70 acupoints on the soles of people's feet, and six meridians start and end on the feet. Scientists believe that there are thousands of peripheral nerves on the soles of people's feet, which are closely related to the brain and heart, and to various organs of the human body, so the foot is called the "second heart" of people, which shows the importance of foot health care. Often bend your toes, walk, step on pebbles, soak your feet with warm water, etc. Can promote the smooth flow of blood in the feet. Push the peripheral blood to the heart and the whole body, regulate the balance of yin and yang, prevent and treat diseases, strengthen the body and prolong life.

Immunoactive limb substances secreted by thymus can monitor the mutated cells in the body and destroy them mercilessly. At the same time, it has anti-infection function and disease resistance; It also has a certain effect on delaying aging. Rubbing the chest up and down with the palm of your hand every day, from the point under the beard to the point at the heart socket 100 to 200 times, can activate the thymus, play the role of disease prevention, fitness and longevity.

Regular massage of the spine can stimulate the dredging of meridians, make qi and blood smooth, nourish the whole body organs and strengthen the body.
