| Cervical spondylosis has become turn into the one common disease within acupuncture and moxibustion, morbidly appears to be the increasing tendency as well as younger age. It is due to the profession of patients also uhhelath living habits, such as computer operationer, desk workers, drivers, sleeper with pillow at excessive height position and so on. Hold vertebrae cervicales in same position for the long time, as time passes the deformation of cervical disc that incurs illiness.Consequently, it affects the people’s normal life include study and work, and thereby harms physical and mental health of the patients that results to the overall quality of social life reducing.Within the understanding of traditional Chinese medical science (TCMS), cervical spondylosis is classified by TCMS’s categories like "paralysis""stiff-neck""flaccid paralysis""dizziness", namely, evidence of deficient root with overdo superficial. Root of this illness mainly expresses as insufficient in liver and kidney, deficiency of qi and blood and physique malnutrition; and the invasion of cold and damp evil, Stagnancy of qi and blood stasis constructs the superficial. The major cause is deficiency in liver and kidney also qi and blood, damage of iliacus muscle, diaphysis un-boom, channel blocking, qi and blood have poor flow and stasis. People feel pain where it has poor flow and recession. Also this disease has close relationship with illness of channels and muscle, the point that feel pain is emerge on place where the channel across the muscle. It has the significant meaning for diagnose and cure the cervical spondylosis. Besides, the chapter of "Shu Zhu Ti Zhong Jie Tong" within the article of "Nan Jing, Liu Shi Ba Nan" which describes the directive effects from shupoints of twelve channels for the pain points.But modern medicine thinks that cervical spondylosis is belonging to the degenerative disease, is based on the lesion from the own degeneracy of cervical disc, follows the progression of disease it appears intervertebral space become narrower, and articuli intervertebrales instability. Force the pressure rising within intervertebral space and unbalanced distribution. The core of marrow has shifting and extrude even extrusion take place, and therefore stimulate and compress the Spinal nerve root as well as intraspinal canal vascular, spinal cord etc that would consequently cause the various symptom. Meanwhile, trauma, overload, and cold which are also induce this illness take place. In addition, the current scholars propose the farther theory that is focusing on the cervical muscle from the researching of jingjin theory on cervical spondylosis. The unequal power of cervical muscle is external factor, the construction of cervical spondylosis is suffered unbalanced pressure is internal factor. Anyone’ s disequilibrium will impact the stability of vertebra to be damaged. |
