Health for All says
Scoliosis is a common deformity of the spine that usually occurs during the teenage years. However, it is rare to have a severe scoliosis in a young 19-year-old woman, which not only affects her appearance, but more importantly poses a serious threat to her lung function and endangers her life.
According to TCM, scoliosis is a disease caused by a variety of factors, including congenital factors, skeletal dysplasia, muscle strength imbalance, etc. Therefore, in the case of scoliosis, Chinese medicine pays attention to adjusting the balance of yin and yang in the whole body, improving the flow of qi and blood in the body, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the spine.
First of all, in terms of adjusting the balance of yin and yang, TCM advocates the use of traditional Chinese medicine**. Depending on the patient's constitution and symptoms, TCM practitioners can choose some traditional Chinese medicines that have the effect of adjusting the balance of yin and yang, such as peach kernel, safflower, tangerine peel, etc. These medications help to unblock the meridians and balance the flow of qi and blood, thereby improving the symptoms of scoliosis.
Secondly, in terms of improving the flow of qi and blood in the body, TCM relies on traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture**. Drugs such as peony and angelica in traditional Chinese medicine have the effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing tendons and activating the nerves, and can promote the metabolism and repair of tissues around the spine. Acupuncture** regulates the operation of the meridians and improves the circulation of qi and blood by stimulating specific acupuncture points, thereby promoting the normal development of the spine.
In addition, TCM also promotes the use of traditional massage and physiotherapy techniques to **scoliosis. Tuina can stimulate the muscles and tissues around the spine and improve its balance of strength through massage and kneading techniques. Physiotherapy techniques use special equipment, such as tendon pulling, stretching, etc., to correct the deformity of the spine and restore its normal physiological curvature.
In summary, severe scoliosis is rare in 19-year-old women, affecting lung function and life-threatening, which is a complex disease. Traditional Chinese medicine scoliosis focuses on adjusting the balance of yin and yang in the whole body and improving the flow of qi and blood in the body. Methods such as traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage and physiotherapy are all unique contributions of Chinese medicine in scoliosis. It is hoped that this 19-year-old woman will be able to receive TCM in time and recover her health soon.
