A study on the clinical thinking of treating waist from abdomen based on the theory of inducing Yang from Yin
Low back pain belongs to the category of arthralgia disease in traditional Chinese medicine,which is located in tendons and bones.TCM theory holds that it is due to the contraction of meridian tendons caused by wind,cold and dampness.Modern medicine believes that the cause of low back pain is still related to the intervertebral disc,while ignoring the relationship between the muscles,joints and nerves around it.In the clinical observation,the author found that for the patients with slight intervertebral disc bulge but obvious pain symptoms,the curative effect was not good after routine acupuncture treatment.This kind of low back pain was closely related to the positive reaction point in the abdominal area of the patients.When it is difficult to be effective in the local treatment of low back pain,physical examination can be carried out in the abdominal area and acupuncture can be carried out on the positive points in the abdominal area,that is,the method of inducing Yang(阳)from Yin(阴)can be effective.Just as Huangdi Neijing(《黄帝内经》):"The key to using needles is to know how to adjust Yin and Yang."That is,when the conventional treatment shows little effect,acupuncture combined with manipulation can be used to induce Yang from Yin,adjust the balance of Yin and Yang,and restore the state of Yin and Yang in equilibrium.The holistic view of Yin and Yang of the treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine are consistent.The author concludes that the occurrence and severity of low back pain are closely related to the structural function of spinal stability.Most doctors focus on the posterior side of the lumbar spine,ignoring the abdominal and iliopsoas muscles.Abdomen belongs to Yin,and waist and back belongs to Yang.Huangdi Neijing:"Therefore,those who are good at using needles will induce Yang from Yin,and induce Yin from Yang."The above views are different from the principle of acupuncture at pain point in the treatment of arthralgia syndrome,so it is considered that"treating waist from abdomen"is the key.This article focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain,and expounds the experience in the treatment of low back pain according to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine combined with modern fascia theory and biomechanics to provide referenc for comrades.
