Treatment of lumbar disc herniation

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is a common clinical disease, multi-morbidity, easy to occur between 20 and 40 years old, especially in middle-aged people engaged in manual labor, more men than women. The onset of the disease is mostly due to extrusion or twisting of the intervertebral disc due to heavy labor or strenuous exercise, rupture of the annulus fibrosus, protrusion of the nucleus pulposus and compression of nerves, and is also related to cold and chronic strain. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation belongs to the category of “paralysis” and “lumbar and leg pain” in traditional Chinese medicine, and is mostly associated with deficiency of spleen and kidney essence and blood, and loss of nourishment of the supervisory vein; in addition, the body feels wind, cold, dampness or falls and bruises, resulting in blockage of the veins and channels, loss of harmony between qi and blood, and pain when it does not pass. The pathogenesis is that wind, cold and dampness paralyze the meridians and cause pain if they do not pass through, or Qi and blood are weak and the meridians are not nourished, causing pain if they are not honored. With the Shen Que meridian system as the core and the doctrine of internal organs and meridians as the guide, abdominal acupuncture therapy has the function of distributing qi and blood to the whole body and the role of macroscopic control of the organism. The pathology of this disease is the rupture of the intervertebral disc fibrous ring and the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, which compresses the spinal nerve roots and surrounding tissues, resulting in edema, inflammatory infiltration, congestion and adhesions, which leads to sciatica. Therefore, the key to treatment is to eliminate the nerve roots and surrounding tissues, such as congestion, edema, adhesions and other sterile inflammation, relieve the tension of the sacrospinous muscle, reduce the pressure in the intervertebral disc, so that the nucleus pulposus can retract with the help of negative pressure and reduce the symptoms of nerve root compression. According to the theory of abdominal acupuncture, there is a holographic image of the whole body in miniature in the superficial layer of the abdominal wall centered on Shen Que, which is a reflection of the biological holographic law, and there is also the phenomenon of “holographic feedback”, that is, the information of the human body as a whole affects, regulates and controls the abdomen, and in turn, the information of the abdomen reflects the overall situation and affects, regulates and controls the whole. control.
