How to root out back pain?
1.Explanation in western medicine about back pain
Back pain in western medicine can be divided into many categories;take a slipped disk as example,western medicine thought it is caused by the normal ageing,which lead to the herniation of nucleus pulposus,and its compression on nerve resulting in back pain.Western medicine does not have specific explanation about the ageing and herniation,but generally concluded it as ageing or lack of the secretion of an endocrine gland.
Western medicine only can say back pain is caused by the compression on nerves by some deformation of bones,but can not offer the actual explanation.The treatment focused merely on the seeable symptoms,such as traction,surgery,etc.These treatment can not find the changes of lumbar vertebra,so it can only relieve the pain, but not cure it.
When the symptoms are not obvious,they apply to conservative treatment,such as traction,physical therapy,anesthesia needle,etc;when the symptoms are severe,they usually turn to surgery,including exairesis,minimally invasive surgery,replacement of lumbar vertebra.
2.Western treatment about back pain
(1)traction
It mainly tract intervertebral space with the help of machine to relieve the direct pressure from lumbar vertebra.This treatment indeed can reduce some pain,but the potency dimension is hard to master.It only fits for the bulge patients,but has no effect on protrusion and prolapsus,even will aggravate the condition.Towards some acute patients,traction is forbidden,because edema and inflammation of nerve root can induce muscle spasm.If use traction by force,it will pull muscle fibre,and aggravate pain.
(2)physical treatment
Physical treatment mainly is to stimulate pain location with the help of electricity,light,sound,magnetism,etc,taking the effect of relieving pain and detumescence.Most patients will feel the symptoms improved through correct physical treatment,but it is hard to cure back pain completely.
(3)anesthesia needle
Anesthesia needle refers to anaesthetize the surrounding area of pain location with local anesthetic to relieve pain.Usually,inject anesthetic and hormone diluted by 5% glucose to the surrounding area of pain location to anaesthetize.This method is effective to relieve pain in short period,but in the long run,it can not take the essential effect on treating lumbar herniated disc.
3.Explanation about back pain in TCM
TCM thought back pain resulted from the collective attack of exogenous and endogenous factors.Only the normal function of all organs can ensure people’s health.Back pain mainly is due to the deficiency of liver and kidney.The concrete explanation in TCM are as follows:kidney rules the bones of our body,if its function declines,bones can not get enough nourishment and they are easily attacked by disease.Liver manages tendons,if liver can not function well,tendon will become slack and can not constraint the movement of bones.As a result,the deficiency of liver and kidney,which causes the dysfunction of bones and tendons,will lead to the dislocation of bones and difficulty of recovery.The oppression on nerves from dislocated bones is the main endogenous factor of back pain.
Exogenous factors include wind,dampness,cold,sport injury,strain,etc.A normal person will easily be attacked by these pathogenic factors.When liver and kidney runs well,qi and blood of tendons and bones is exuberant,and the common attack will not bring severe result and easily to recover,nevertheless,when liver and kidney runs poorly,qi and blood is deficient,and these exogenous factors will cause damage and difficult to recover.
As for old people,they may hurt their lumbar when making bed.It is mainly because their body is weak,small exogenous factors may induce back pain,and can not recover for too long time.
If the deficiency of liver and kidney last for too long time,the circulation of qi and blood in waist will be not fluent,and the exogenous factors will be accumulated,such as the pathogenic wind,pathogenic cold,pathogenic dampness,etc.This will cause the deformation of partial bones,such as bone spur,a slipped disk,etc,and these symptoms demonstrate as severe symptoms of back pain.
4.Treatment of back pain in TCM
The treatment of back pain in TCM includes plaster,tisane,acupuncture,etc.Plaster is the most compatible treatment towards this kind of disease,such as Lianchi Back Pain Plaster.
Based on the etiology of back pain in TCM,plaster treatment can be divided into local treatment on pain location and the adjustment of the whole body.
(1)local treatment:you can apply the square plaster on the deformed bone location,and it will exact the partial pathogenic factors through skin,such as pathogenic wind,pathogenic dampness,pathogenic cold,etc,demonstrating vesicles on the skin.The patients may feel itching or painful in this procedure.Meanwhile,plaster can replenish nourishment to the partial pain location.Apply this plaster for 2 to 3 months,the pain location has been replenished,and the deformed bone will gradually recover to the normal condition.Certainly the back pain will disappear.
(2)holistic treatment:apply round plaster to the belly button acupoint,from which the visceral pathogenic factors can be exacted.Also,it will manifest as vesicles on the skin.After the exaction of visceral pathogenic factors,their function can be greatly improved,and supply enough nourishment to the body.In this way,both the pain location and whole body can get enough blood circulation and qi movement.Not only the back pain will not reoccur easily,but also some other diseases will get better.
5.Common treatment errors on back pain
It is thought that back pain is an incurable disease.In fact,if only you found the right treatment,it can be cured.In antient china,numerous cases of back pain have been cured,however,in modern society with advanced technology and science,it becomes an incurable disease.
Here are some treatment errors;
First error,after you apply the plaster,you feel itching,think it is not a sound medicine,and stop using it.
Explanation:towards back pain,no matter which kind of treatment you apply to,it is necessary to discharge the intrinsic rubbish.Surgery is to take out the rubbish by outside force,which is an extreme exterior treatment.While plaster is to transfer the form of intrinsic rubbish through medicine into vesicles on the skin,and discharge it from skin,representing as pain and itching during the process.Other treatment also is to discharge the intrinsic rubbish by the use of other ways,with the purpose of enhancing personal supply of qi and blood.Above all,if you want to cure back pain,you must find a passage for intrinsic rubbish to discharge.Among these methods,obviously plaster is the most direct and fast way to extract the instrinsic rubbish.Therefore,you should try to endure the itching feeling of the plaster when the symptoms is relieving.If you surely can not bear,you can stop using it temporarily,and continue to apply it when your skin becomes better.Only after applying it for some times,the rubbish can be discharged completely and the disease is cured.
Second error,western medicine is scientific because it can find out which nerves are oppressed,so western medicine is advanced in treating back pain.
Explanation:we can see with our own eyes the condition of the compressed nerves by means of CT or other methods.Western treatment is to correct the deformed bones through surgery or traction,but neither focus on the causes of the deformation,nor treating the root cause of it.Therefore,the curative effect is transient,and prone to relapse.The present situation that back pain is an incurable disease is closely related with these western treatment.If western medicine can not find and treat the root cause of back pain,it is understandable that back pain is called an incurable disease.As for anodyne,it only make people can not feel the pain through anaesthetizing nerves.Not only can it not take any substantial curative effect,but also will increase the metabolic burden of liver and kidney.
Third error:The simple package of back pain medicine in TCM make patients worry about its curative effect and quality.
Explanation:the characteristics of TCM is focused on curative effect,not package,thereby it is not surprising to see lots of TCM with simple or no package,but it will not affect the curative effect.In addition,doctors will adjust the presciption of the medicine according to the condition of patients.No prescription fits for all people,therefore,it is not fit for mass production.At present,the common traditional chinese medicine in drugstore is pexic prescription,and it only can take effect towards certain patients,but not all.Therefore,it can not take the best curative effect due to its difficulty in adjusting the priscription in accordance with the patients’ condition.
