“Doctor, what’s wrong with me? I can’t move my head when I get up today, and it hurts so much when I turn it slightly.” A middle-aged woman sitting in the massage clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointing to her crooked head, looked nervous and told Associate Professor Zhang Shiqing about her condition. After a simple examination, Zhang Shiqing judged that the middle-aged woman fell pillow. The pillow can appear at all times, but the incidence is highest in the morning, that is, when you first wake up. The pillow is too high, cold, or overworked sleep too dead, the whole sleep process to maintain a posture and so on can make a person pillow. Zhang Shiqing said, the timing of the pillow also varies, some people have woken up pillow, others are in the nest yawn, or get up after stretching suddenly pillow. After the pillow people spend all day in pain and helplessness, often unbearable. Zhang Shiqing believes that the pillow does not necessarily have to go to the hospital for treatment, but it is necessary to master some home health care methods for the pillow. The first affiliated hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Tuina Department Zhang Shiqing to pain points for acupuncture point rubbing 5 minutes “point point to treat the pillow is very effective.” Zhang Shiqing said, the simplest way is to pain points for acupuncture points, to put it bluntly, which pain point which. Pillow are very obvious pain points (the most painful part), which part is the most painful, is the shoulder or cervical spine, the pillow can be perceived with a slight rotation of the neck. After finding the pain point, first put the thumb of the finger on the pain point, and then the pain point as the center of the left and right, up and down point kneading, point kneading when the technique should be light, each time 5 minutes, every two hours can be repeated once. Of course, if the site of the pain point back, you need to ask someone to help. The pain point is too painful to rub the point for the pillow, point rubbing pain point will be very painful, and even some pillow people can not tolerate. This time to take another approach, namely the distal point. The distal point taken is generally the Hegu point. Find the Hegu point can be used in this way: take the thumb of one hand, placed on the web of the other hand, the thumb finger corresponding to the part, is the Hegu point. When you knead the Hegu point, you will feel a sore, numb, swollen sensation traveling up your arm. When kneading the Hegu point, the force should be greater, 10 minutes at a time, and can be done 2 to 3 times a day. When kneading the Hegu point, the neck should do the “rice” exercise to match. As for which hand to press the Hegu point, it depends on your pain point in which part, if the pain point is left, we should press the right hand Hegu point; if the pain point is right, we should press the left hand Hegu point. The exercise follows up to get rid of the pillow completely After the acupuncture point is over, you have to start moving your head and neck (Article source: assuredmedicalcourt.com)
