There are many friends with babies around, and I often listen to everyone discuss the child's physique. I feel that children's physique is not as strong as in the past, and they are prone to illness, and more and more babies are allergic. Children are in pain and parents are tired. Let the baby have a healthy body, which is not only the precious wealth of the child, but also the way for parents to worry and save effort. In fact, our ancestors handed down a simple and easy-to-learn method, which is chiropractic.

First, the origin of massage therapy

The chiropractic method was first seen in Ge Hong's Elbow Emergency Prescription, a famous health care physician in Jin Dynasty. In case of elbow backup emergency? "Prescription for Treating Abdominal Pain" says: "Take the turtle tail to the top ridge skin to induce pain, but it will get worse if it doesn't heal." Among them, "taking the skin of the turtle's spine" is the chiropractic of later generations. This method has been widely circulated among the people since the late Ming Dynasty, and it has been 1000 years.

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, chiropractic walking along meridians is operated on the bladder meridian and du meridian of Foot Sun. The back belongs to yang, and the governor meridian is the "capital of yang veins" and "governor of all yang". If the Du meridian is blocked, the meridians will be blocked. All the meridians of the zang-fu organs are connected with the du meridian, and diseases of the zang-fu organs can affect the meridians, while diseases of the meridians can spread inside the zang-fu organs. Pinching the Du meridian can stimulate people's yang. The general principle of yang is that qi and blood are full, so the function of zang-fu organs can be adjusted. Therefore, chiropractic has the functions of balancing yin and yang, strengthening body resistance and eliminating evil, harmonizing qi and blood, dredging meridians and improving viscera function. So as to achieve the functions of prevention, health preservation and treatment.

Second, the cognition of chiropractic at the physiological level.

From the point of view of modern medicine, the spine is the skeleton backbone that supports the human body, and there is a spinal cord in the spine, which is an extension of the brain. The spine is the place and channel where the brain and spinal cord send nerve roots to various organs and tissues of the whole body. Autonomic ganglion and sympathetic trunk of human body are mainly distributed on both sides of spine. The brain controls and regulates the activities of the whole body through the spinal cord and nerves. By stimulating these ganglia and sympathetic trunk, chiropractic can adjust the function of internal organs in a whole and improve the immunity of the body with the help of complex nerve and body fluid factors, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and preventing diseases.

Third, massage technology.

Chiropractic can be divided into upper and lower chiropractic. Generally, children's massage textbooks refer to upper chiropractic (that is, kneading from bottom to top). Upper chiropractic is from Changqiang point (near the tip of coccyx) to Dazhui point. Generally, hands are used to continuously pinch the skin from bottom to top along both sides of the child's spine. Du meridian is in charge of the yang of the whole body, and several main acupoints on Du meridian are all acupoints for rising yang. According to the principle of meridian massage "reinforcing along meridian and purging against meridian", the purpose of chiropractic along du meridian from bottom to top is to promote yang, which belongs to reinforcing method. The order of lower chiropractic is opposite to that of lower chiropractic, which has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels. It belongs to purgative therapy, and is usually used to treat excess heat syndrome, such as fever or constipation, and is rarely used for health care. In practical application, the middle and lower chiropractic is often only pinched or replaced by pushing back. From the meridian diagram, we can see that chiropractic has a direct impact on kidney, spleen and lung after passing through a series of important points on the posterior bladder meridian. Massage the spine three to six times at a time, and once a day or every other day is ok.

Four, chiropractic matters needing attention

1. The best time for chiropractic is after getting up in the morning, when the sun rises in the morning, and when the human body is full of yang. At this time, chiropractic conforms to the laws of nature, and the effect will be more obvious. Moreover, night is the time to nourish yin, so in principle, you can't do chiropractic, otherwise the rising of yang will hurt yin, which will attract patients with real fever. There is also the best not to do it after eating;

2. If the back is injured, inflamed or swollen, you can't do spinal massage. People with high fever, heart disease or bleeding tendency (such as thrombocytopenia) should use chiropractic with caution.
