Explaining the Compensation Mechanism of the Musculoskeletal System Based on the Five-Body Theory
The TCM five-body theory offers a comprehensive understanding of the musculoskeletal system,categorizing it into five com-ponents:tendons,vessels,flesh,skin,and bones.These correspond to the anatomical structures of ligaments,joint capsules,nerves,blood vessels,muscles,superficial fascia,and bones.Based on the five-body theory,it is believed that pathological changes progress from the exterior to the interior,with transmission from the skin,flesh,vessels,tendons,and finally to the bones.The musculoskeletal system com-pensates sequentially through the superficial fascia,muscles,nerves,blood vessels,ligaments,joint capsules,periosteum,and bones.This theory provides a valuable perspective for understanding the compensation mechanism in modern musculoskeletal pain and helps in i-dentifying the specific injury sites within the system.Early-stage pain may involve damage to the superficial fascia and muscles(skin and flesh),which can be treated accordingly.Mid-stage pain may involve injury to the nerves,blood vessels,and tendons(vessels and tendons),necessitating targeted treatment.Chronic long-term pain is often associated with damage to bone structures,requiring treatment focusing on the periosteum and bones.The five-body theory offers insights for modern musculoskeletal pain compensation and provides guidance for clinical pain management in the musculoskeletal system,which should receive further attention.
