Acupuncture The general name for traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion . Acupuncture involves using special metal needles to press certain acupuncture points and insert them into the patient's body, and then use twisting, lifting and other techniques to achieve the purpose of treating the disease. Moxibustion is to use burning moxa to burn the skin surface of acupuncture points, and use thermal stimulation to treat diseases.
Acupuncture uses specialized needles to operate on specific acupoints on the human body. It can regulate yin and yang in the body, dredge the meridians of qi and blood, expel evil spirits, and support healthy qi. Facial paralysis, stroke , lumbar disc herniation , irregular menstruation , dysmenorrhea and other diseases can be treated with this method.
Moxibustion uses moxa sticks , moxa rolls and other tools to fumigate the acupuncture points. Its warming effect can warm the body and dispel cold, restore yang and reverse , and prevent disease and provide health care.
Xiaoqin, an office clerk, is 32 years old. She sits in front of the computer for a long time and works all day long. Sometimes she has to work overtime until eight or nine o'clock. Now, my neck is starting to hurt, and my shoulders are also very sore. I also realized that it might be due to sitting for a long time and maintaining the same posture for a long time. I started watching Douyin and doing aerobics with fitness anchors around 8 o'clock in the evening, but the effect was not good. I still had difficulty falling asleep at night. The symptoms have become more and more serious in the past few days, and she came to me for diagnosis and treatment after being introduced by her colleagues.
After a detailed examination at my place, I found that Xiaoqin had tenderness in her neck and shoulders, and the mobility of cervical vertebra had become worse. Combined with the results of her cervical spine X-ray film taken before in the hospital, the condition was not serious. Based on the symptoms, signs and examinations, the Western medicine diagnosis was cervical spondylosis , and it was recommended to use acupuncture for treatment. She said she did not understand acupuncture and was worried about the treatment effect. I explained the functions and safety of acupuncture to her, and reassured her that she should cooperate with the doctor and actively cooperate with the treatment.
treatment uses acupuncture, with the main principles of relaxing muscles and relieving pain, promoting qi and activating blood . Acupoint selection mainly focuses on local acupoints. The specific acupoints are: Tianzhu, Jingbailao, Dazhu, Jianjing , Jianzhongshu, Ashi, Geshu , Hegu.
Since Xiaoqin has never had acupuncture treatment , before the treatment, I introduced her in detail how acupuncture works and how the needles feel when inserted, so as to eliminate her fear of acupuncture; during the treatment, I always pay attention to her condition and make timely adjustments if she feels any discomfort.
After two treatments, her neck and shoulder pain was reduced by more than half, and her sleep the night before was also much improved. This was her third treatment, and the effect of acupuncture was beyond her expectation. , who was not very fond of our traditional Chinese medicine before, now he has become a fan of traditional Chinese medicine.
Here I would like to suggest that many young people working hard in society should take good care of their bodies, do not face the air conditioner directly, do not sit for long periods of time, do not use computers and mobile phones with their heads down for long periods of time, and get up every hour to move their muscles. , twist the neck, twist the waist. If you really suffer from cervical spondylosis , you must perform operations under the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not exercise blindly on your own.
