Nowadays, many people feel sore neck, backache and stiff shoulders. It is popular to find a massage parlor, a beauty salon or even a hairdresser to relieve the pain. However, many masseurs are teaching quickly now, and the operators don't understand anatomy, so it is easy to do something wrong too hard and cause physical harm to consumers. TCM massage should strictly control indications and contraindications, and also embody the ideological principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment. To become a qualified chiropractor or orthopedic surgeon, you need at least five years of standardized study at the undergraduate level.

Modern people like eating and drinking, but don't like exercise, which leads to atherosclerosis or calcification of cervical blood vessels. If you massage the neck hard at will, it is easy to cause these hardened plaques to fall off, enter the brain with blood, block blood vessels, and cause a stroke;

Also, the intensity of massage for patients with osteoporosis must be well controlled, and excessive force will lead to pathological fractures; In addition, in the acute edema stage of lumbar disc herniation, massage reduction cannot be emphasized. If the manipulation is not standardized, it will not only not relieve the symptoms, but also aggravate the condition and even cause paraplegia.

Therefore, we must find a specialist for symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis in a regular medical institution.

Some entertainment places, bath centers, beauty salons and weight-loss centers are all under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine, but many people don't understand the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The qualifications, environment and facilities of general beauty salons all have potential safety hazards.

Especially the disinfection requirements of acupuncture needles are very strict. If cross-infection occurs, it may spread blood diseases, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and even AIDS. Even a set of acupuncture equipment for one person, if not standardized, even the smallest wound, once stained with body fluids, will cause pollution.

There are also scraping boards, bed sheets and cupping walls, which should be disinfected regularly, otherwise there are great potential risks. When you encounter damaged skin and mucous membrane, the slightest damage will lead to infection.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation, so traditional therapy is suitable for the crowd. For example, the main functions of scraping and cupping are detoxification, promoting blood circulation, clearing away heat and toxic materials, expelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome. However, if people are in poor health, they will feel dizzy and weak after scraping and cupping. People with qi deficiency, blood deficiency and yang deficiency are not suitable for cupping and scraping, at least be careful.

In some health centers, people who get angry will suggest scraping, and people who have a cold will come to cupping. This statement is actually inaccurate and inappropriate. In daily life, for the individual population, getting angry and scraping and catching cold and cupping can really have an immediate effect, but this is only effective for the individual physique and the population, and it only reflects the role and curative effect of these two therapies.

Need to be reminded that the so-called foot massage is not a panacea. The main function of foot massage is to relieve fatigue, and it cannot replace the examination of precision medical instruments. It is impossible to diagnose diseases in other parts of the human body only by the foot, but to cure diseases in other parts through foot health care.

If you just need to relax simply because of busy work, it is also good to do some massage, pedicure and other health care, and you don't need technicians to master the level of acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine.

In short, when you feel unwell, you'd better go to a regular medical institution and consult a professional doctor.
