Today, I would like to provide you with some dry information, which is some of my clinical experience in treating crestal medullary injury.
Crestal medullary injury can be caused by car accident, trauma, fall from height, dancing down the back, inflammation of the crestal medulla, etc. Crestal medullary injury can cause paralysis of the lower limbs, numbness, weakness, muscle atrophy, incontinence, urinary retention, constipation and other symptoms, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients, what should be done?
1.First of all, we need to understand the cause: what caused the cremasteric injury.
If it is a fracture or dislocation of the crest caused by trauma that compresses the crestal medulla, then the compression should be lifted by surgery as soon as possible. If it is caused by optic nerve myelitis, hormones and immunosuppressants should be used at an early stage. Rehabilitation should be started as soon as possible afterwards, and the sooner the better.
2. Early treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation
Some people say that it is impossible to recover from cremaster injury and that nerve cells cannot regenerate after death. It is true that the regeneration ability of nerve cells is very poor, even if there are neural stem cells, but the number is so small that it is difficult to reach the demand after the injury. Wrong! In addition to the regeneration of nerve cells, it is the network reconstruction of nerve cells that plays the most important role in the recovery of nerve function. After a nerve cell injury, the remaining nerve cells will grow many tentacles to connect with the next stage of nerve cells and reconstruct the nerve network to restore nerve function. The cremaster is like an electric wire, and cremaster injury is like a broken wire in an electric wire. A broken wire will lead to a short circuit, but as long as the tentacles from the remaining normal cells can connect to the nerve cells downstream, the wire is connected and can conduct electricity again, but the resistance is too high, and a large number of such tentacle connections are still needed, so they have to be continuously stimulated and continuously promoted to regenerate tentacles, and this is the theory that after cremaster injury This is the theoretical basis for the ability to improve function.
3. The growth of nerve cells and synapses requires nutrition, how do we provide it?
According to Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the main reservoir of essence and produce marrow, which is connected to the brain. The root cause of Alzheimer’s disease is a deficiency of kidney essence, a void of marrow, and a loss of brain nourishment.
The surplus and deficit of kidney essence determines the fullness and emptiness of the bone marrow and brain marrow. In the Su Wen – Theory of Reverse Regulation, “If the kidney does not produce, the marrow cannot be full.”
Therefore, in the treatment of crestal marrow injury, long-term kidney supplementation is required.
First, dietary supplement: eat a lot of kidney tonic foods: such as black sesame, cistanches, corn, cowpeas, wolfberries, red dates, shrimp, chestnuts, black rice and black beans lotus seed porridge, walnuts, taro, yams, mulberries, lotus leaves ground into powder 3g each time morning and evening punch, lotus seeds, pine nuts, capers, leeks, royal jelly, ganoderma lucidum, bird’s nest, Agaricus blazei, Dihuang, lockjaw. Cashew nuts, beef bone marrow, dog meat, lamb bone, animal kidney, loach, dried scallop, perch, pigeon meat, silkworm pupa, turtle meat, pigeon meat, pork, snapper, mealybug, oyster
The second is a medicinal tonic: such as kidney tonic Yi Marrow soup, Yi Marrow granules, etc..
This is the theory of Chinese medicine, is there any theory support in Western medicine? Of course there is. Foreign literature reports that patients with crestal marrow injury treated with daily injections of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor showed significant improvement in their dysfunction, while recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is clinically used to stimulate bone marrow hematopoiesis to raise white blood cells, but clinical findings show that promoting bone marrow hematopoiesis improves crestal marrow function at the same time. This is also a theoretical supplement of Western medicine to Chinese medicine, right?
With adequate nutrition, of course, proper stimulation is needed to make the synapses grow in the direction you want them to. Then there is some traditional physical therapy, such as: acupuncture, electrotherapy, moxibustion, acupuncture point injection, wax therapy, and so on.
I summarize my set of methods as follows.
1, food is the soil to provide nutrition
2, acupuncture point injection of drugs to stimulate bone marrow blood production to promote germination
3, moxibustion is the sun to enhance the temperature to promote growth
4, transcranial magnetic stimulation and other stimulation is the rain to nourish the neural network reconstruction
Please see some cases below.
Lower back paralysis leading to thoracic 7-12 crestal medullary injury child can walk after half a month of treatment
Quadriplegia with cervical medullary injury after fall, able to move on the floor after 20 days of treatment
Before treatment
Atlanto-occipital joint dislocation with severe cervical medullary compression and paraplegia, after treatment, the limbs can move freely
A child fell and injured his cervical medulla resulting in lower limb paralysis, and was able to walk on the floor after 3 weeks of treatment
There are many cases, so I won’t list them all here. I hope that patients with crestal medullary injury can see some hope after reading this article, and there is hope as long as they persist in treatment.
