Now is the era of high-speed developed Internet self-publishing, the Internet is full of videos of self-proclaimed orthopedic masters, there are quite a few people who claim to be orthopedic masters, they say in the videos that they kill cervical spondylosis in seconds, and some say that “orthopedic masters” say that orthopedic cures cervical spondylosis in one go. Is orthopedic treatment of cervical spondylosis really that amazing?
Orthopedics refers to the treatment of fractures and dislocations by pushing, tugging, pressing and depressing techniques in Chinese medicine. Orthopedics is the name of a specialty that treats injuries, and is one of the “thirteen disciplines” of ancient medicine, also known as orthopedics or orthopedic injury, and has a history of over a thousand years in China.
Orthopedics is mainly concerned with injuries to bones, joints and soft tissues caused by external forces, but it also includes injuries to internal organs caused by the same kind of reasons. It is a science and technology to remedy the deformation and recovery of limbs due to bone and joint injuries.
Orthopedics is a technique left behind by our Chinese ancestors to treat orthopedic diseases. In today’s society with advanced Western medical technology, Chinese orthopedics is still a unique treatment for bone diseases. For example, the treatment of fractures in Western medicine requires surgery, which can cause secondary trauma, slow recovery and high treatment costs. However, Chinese osteopathy can heal and reset the fractured bone through osteopathic manipulation, and the patient will recover quickly and at a low cost, while reducing the patient’s pain.
For joint dislocations, TCM orthopedics has absolute technical advantages. For example, if the elbow joint is dislocated, Chinese orthopedics can reset the elbow joint in a few seconds, and the patient does not have any pain, so it is a real second.
This is how cervical spondylosis is introduced in the Baidu encyclopedia: cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spine syndrome, is the general name of cervical osteoarthritis, hyperplastic cervical spondylitis, cervical nerve root syndrome, cervical disc prolapse, is a degenerative pathology based on the disorder. It is a clinical syndrome with a series of dysfunctions mainly due to long-term strain and osteophytes of the cervical spine, or disc prolapse and ligament thickening, resulting in compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral artery. The symptoms include vertebral joint instability and loosening, nucleus pulposus protrusion or prolapse, bone spur formation, ligamentous hypertrophy and secondary spinal stenosis, which stimulate or compress the adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral artery and cervical sympathetic nerve and other tissues, causing a series of symptoms and signs.
In the nearly 20 years that the author has studied and engaged in osteopathy (osteopathy), more than 60% of patients with cervical spondylosis have cervical osteoarthritis, hyperplastic cervical spondylitis, cervical nerve root syndrome, and cervical disc prolapse. Chinese medicine orthopedics can only solve the patient’s cervical disc prolapse, other problems orthopedics can not solve, the patient’s cervical osteoarthritis, hyperplastic cervicitis, cervical nerve root syndrome or need to be treated by medication.
Dr. Liu is an orthopedic surgeon in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, he has suffered from cervical spondylosis for more than 10 years, his colleagues suggested him surgery, as a doctor he knows the risks of surgery, more than 10 years have been conservative treatment.
He went to see a number of Chinese orthopedic masters for more than a decade, and after several orthopedic treatments, his headache, dizziness and hand numbness disappeared completely and he was very comfortable, but his cervical spondylosis recurred a few months later. Every time a friend introduced him to an orthopedic master, he was hopeful but disappointed, and since then he no longer believed in orthopedic Chinese medicine.
When we met at a friend’s party, my friend introduced me to him, saying that I was an expert in Chinese medicine rehabilitation and an osteopathic master, and he showed a disdainful expression at that time. As he was dizzy and had a headache at that time, he wanted me to help him relieve it.
Through examination, he was found to have cervical osteoarthritis, ligamentous thickening and cervical disc prolapse. I told him, “Osteopathy (osteopathy) can only solve a performance problem and only temporarily relieve dizziness and headache, and a combination of medicine and osteopathy (osteopathy) should be used to treat cervical spondylosis. Osteopathy (osteopathy) solves the problem of cervical disc prolapse, and medicine treats cervical osteoarthritis and ligament thickening, while medicine also solves the problem of why the cervical disc is prolapsed.”
Since Chinese medicine and Western medicine explain the causes of cervical spondylosis differently, I gave a comprehensive introduction to cervical spondylosis from the perspective of Western medicine and Chinese medicine, and at the same time gave him an introduction to my methods and principles of cervical spondylosis conditioning. He told me that it was the first time he had heard such a comprehensive introduction to cervical spondylosis from a doctor and hoped that I would help him with his pain. Through a combination of medicine and osteopathy, I was able to completely recover from the cervical spondylosis that had plagued him for more than ten years through several months of conditioning.
Cervical spondylosis is the name of Western medicine; Chinese medicine does not have the name cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis belongs to the category of paralysis in Chinese medicine. The internal cause of cervical spondylosis is due to the lack of vital energy in the human body and the lack of solidity outside the body, while the external cause is the human body feeling wind, cold, dampness, heat and other external evil, resulting in the paralysis of meridians and channels, the poor flow of Qi and blood, causing pain, soreness, numbness, heavy, burning, flexion and extension, or even joint enlargement and deformation as the main clinical manifestations of the disease.
The principle of Chinese medicine treatment for cervical spondylosis is to regulate the qi and blood and to eliminate cold and dampness, so that the cervical spondylosis can be treated at the root. The patient’s cervical disc prolapse is due to excessive cold and dampness in the body causing qi stagnation and blood stasis, which causes the patient’s tendons and fascia to spasm, thus causing the patient’s cervical disc prolapse. Orthopedic treatment only solves the apparent problem of cervical disc prolapse and changes the patient’s Qi and blood deficiency, but does not change the cold and dampness in the patient’s body. Therefore, orthopedics only relieves the patient’s dizziness and headache, but does not fundamentally solve the patient’s ailment.
Orthopedics is great, but it’s not a cure-all! People have a misplaced perception of Chinese osteopathy and believe that it is a cure-all. Orthopedic treatment is performed by pulling, stretching, resetting, massaging, etc. to unblock the meridians, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, unblock the meridians, improve the state of “blockage”, and finally achieve the effect of tendon and bone correction, promote the recovery of the function of the affected nerves and improve local symptoms. Chinese osteopathy can be a complementary treatment for some diseases, and a very good treatment for others. The final key also depends on the osteopathic doctor’s osteopathic technique, which is the root of the problem.
Chinese medicine orthopedics is very good, I hope that Chinese medicine can bring health to more people.
