Hello everyone, I am Dr. Yan, orthopedics of traditional Chinese medicine.
Today, I will tell you how we treat bone hyperplasia in traditional Chinese medicine.
In traditional Chinese medicine, bone spurs and bone hyperplasia are all in the category of " bone numbness ". The reason for the disease is that some evil qi such as wind, cold and dampness enters the body and accumulates in the joints , causing the meridians to be poor, resulting in the meridians in the corresponding parts not being unobstructed, and the phlegm, turbidity, blood stasis, and inflammation and pain will occur over time.
Therefore, when treating, should remove cold and dampness qi, relieve blood and blockage of meridians, and replenish qi and blood qi .
First tell you a process of patient treatment.
I have seen a 47-year-old man named Chen, who has been engaged in handling work in the market for 20 years. Because he has been carrying heavy objects over the years, his joints on his body are either hurting this or that.
For the first time I met Lao Chen, his face turned pale and his left leg was slightly stiff.
It was only after he explained that the pain in his body has been seven or eight years. When it was hurt before, it could be relieved by applying a pair of plaster.
Four months ago, 's left knee suddenly hurts like a needle, and stretching legs and squatting can't do it at all.
thought it was because of the coldness of his legs in the morning. He took a towel to apply it for a few days. After applying it, the pain relieved, but as long as he moved a little, his knees would be so painful that it would not work, and the entire left half of his body would be in pain.
went to the hospital for an X-ray. The doctor said that he had multiple bone hyperplasia, especially the bone spurs on the left knee that had severely compressed the nerves. To completely solve the problem, surgical treatment is needed.
This is unacceptable to Lao Chen, because he has been injured for 100 days and he will not be able to work for at least one or two months after surgery, so he decided to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat it.
first diagnosis, I saw that his tongue was dark purple and had ecchymosis, and he took the pulse for and had a stiff pulse. I diagnosed Lao Chen with qi stagnation and blood stasis. The main characteristics of are: numbness and tingling of the head, neck, shoulders, back, and limbs, fixed pain in the pain area, refusal to press (pressing the painful area can aggravate the pain), aggravated at night, and difficulty in joint movement.
Therefore, I prescribed him a prescription with only 4 herbs, as follows:
White peony , licorice , papaya , papaya , Weilingxian . After taking
with water and taking 8 doses of medicine, Lao Chen came to follow up and felt that the pain in his body had been significantly relieved, but when he bent down and squatted, his knee joints were still a little stiff and slightly pulled pain.
So, I adjusted the prescription, added Achyranthes , and gave 25 doses.
htmlAfter 01 months, Lao Chen said that the pain around is gone, and the joints of the whole body are not as cold as before, and there is a warm feeling, and the arms and legs are flexed and stretched freely.
Why does this recipe seem simple but have such a magical effect? Let's talk little by little.
Traditional medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and starts from the specific causes, because this is because of the invasion of cold and dampness, qi stagnation and blood stasis.
Lao Chen has been doing heavy physical work such as transportation all year round, which increases the burden on the bones, increases the wear and tear between joints, and the loss of positive energy. Then external evils are extremely easy to invade, which is the most direct reason.
This prescription solves these two problems very well. not only removes blood stasis and removes dampness, but also strengthens yang energy.
is well. Let’s take a look at this recipe together:
White peony, licorice, papaya, Weilingxian
【White peony】【Licorice】 These two medicines cooperate with each other and form a classic prescription, Peony and Licorice Decoction. Their medicinal properties are very flat and gentle, and can play a good auxiliary role. In this recipe, it can not only reduce the relaxation of muscles and bones, but also reduce the pain.
summarizes it in one word, which is to relieve emergency and relieve pain.
[Papaya] has the effects of removing dampness and , relieving muscles and revitalizing the meridians. It has better effect on cramps and tendons, and is often used to treat dampness, , cramps, and tendons.
[Weilingxian] This medicine must be familiar with. It can dispel wind, unclog meridians and relieve pain, and is effective for numbness and pain in the limbs.
[Papaya] [Weishingxian] Both medicines can unblock meridians, dispel wind and analgesic pain, and the effect of the combination is more significant.
Finally, I added [Assalpalm] to remove blood stasis and unblock menstruation, nourish liver and kidneys, strengthen muscles and bones, can lead medicine downward, and be good at treating knee numbness.
This prescription is relatively simple, and there are no particularly rare medicinal materials, but is appropriate and each performs its own duties. None of them is missing.
Bone spurs and bone hyperplasia should be the most common bone diseases. Once there is unfavorable flexion and extension and joint swelling, as long as removes cold and dampness, replenishes yang energy and , the disease can be cured in general.
Finally, I have to say that different people have different physical constitutions and different symptoms, so you cannot use medicine privately, and you still need to ask a doctor for consultation and prescribe prescriptions if you feel uncomfortable. I am Dr. Yan, a Chinese orthopedic doctor. Regarding bone disease issues, everyone is welcome to consult. I hope I can solve the problem for you and relieve the pain.
