How TCM treat osteophyte?

    From the aspect of TCM,the pathogeny is caused by the deficiency of liver and kidney and insufficiency of vital energy and blood.This will lead to the loss of nutrition and limitation of movement of tendon and vessel.Another point of view is that the invasion of chronic strain and wind-cold-dampness evils will cause unsmooth of meridians and colleterals,and stasis of blood and vital energy.Particularly after middle age,body can not adjust itself regularly,and it will lead to the preponderance of yang and deficiency of yin.The deficiency of yin mainly is the deficiency of liver-kidney yin,and the preponderance of yang mainly is the preponderance of asthenia fire and evil fever.The evil fever will prompt the unusual hyperplasia of bones without marrow.The outline of these bones is thick and big but they do not have the strength of support.The joints are stretched instablely,going along with bone pain.
      At the early phase of hyperosteogeny,blood stasis and pathogenic factorcs twist together,and don’t disperse.The treatment mainly is to dissipate blood stasis and drive away pathogenic evils,stimulate the blood circulation and cause the muscles and joints to relax.If the patient is in the later period of hyperosteogeny,the etiology of disease mainly is the deficiency of liver and kidney,and asthenia accompanied by sthenia.The deficiency can be divided into the deficiency of yin and yang and the other one include blood stasis and dampness-heat,and this condition is very complicated.The symptoms of yin deficiency mainly demonstrate dry mouth,hard and dry feces,thin and dizzy;while the yang deficiency mainly manifest fear of cold and clear urine,and impotence.The dampness-heat have symptoms of swelling,effusion in the joins,and when you press it,it will fluctuate.This is not beneficial for stretching.
     As for for treating neck,shoulder,lumbar and leg pain,TCM thought it is closely related with the deficiency of liver and kidney.The pathogeny is deficiency in origin and excess in super ficiality,deficiency of liver and kidney,insufficiency of blood and vital energy,lack of nourishment for channels,blood stasis,wind-cold-dampness evils’invasion,blockage of meridians,and blockage will cause pain.Therefore,treatment should start from tonifying kidney and nourish liver,accompanied by activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis,expel wind and cold,clear and activate meridians and collerals.In this way,we can achieve the aim of curing completely and fast.
      Osteophyte belongs to Bi syndrome.It is aseptic inflammation,and common anti-inflammatory in western medicine can’t take effect.The operatio for osteophyte has been greatly limited by big injury,high risk,long rehabitation period and expensive charges,and the patient operated has nearly lost ability of labouring and strenuous exercise.Many successful operational patients relapse about after 3 to 4 years.Hyper-traction will easily lead to the imbalance of back and waist,and aggravate the pain.Even the integrated hospital large in scale is at a loss about what to do with this disease.
     The treatment for osteophyte present the advantage of TCM. TCM doctors said the advantage of TCM is to cure the disease through readjustment without damage.Western medicine use the medicine on human bodies after doing trial on animals,while the classical prescription in TCM is the experience got by our ancestors through hundreds of years’ repeated trials,and it will not relapse.Once the operation on treating osteophyte fails,there is no way to correct it.
