Cervical Joint Dislocation and Cervical Bone Spur
The patient is a 63-year-old man with numbness in both arms. He has received physical therapy and Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion, but the effect is not obvious. He also considered Western medicine surgery, but refused after considering the risks.
Later, when I came to our clinic, during the examination, the movement of the neck in front, back, left, and right was limited, and there was obvious hand numbness when I leaned back on my own. After X-ray examination, I found that the cervical spine joints were dislocated, cervical spine spurs were formed, the nerve roots were compressed, and the meridians and collaterals were compressed. stymied.
Since the etiology is obvious, but the location of the lesion is in the neck, the spine is thin, and the patient is at risk of osteoporosis due to his age, so the principle of treatment is safety as the first condition to avoid treatment errors and lead to deterioration.
The treatment plan first uses traditional Chinese medicine massage to loosen the muscles and tendons of the whole body, adjusts and balances the muscles and joints, and then uses acupotomy to loosen the adhesions and dredge the meridians. It needs to be performed on the same day. After two treatments, the range of motion of the neck increased, the numbness of the arms decreased, and the condition improved.
