The cervical spine, located below the head and above the thoracic vertebrae. The cervical spine bears the head and the trunk below, which is not only the most active part of the spine, but also the most important part of the nerve center, and the only way for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Small neck soreness may cause weakness in the upper limbs, numbness in the fingers, weakness in the lower limbs, difficulty walking, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and even blurred vision, tachycardia, and more.
The following is to share with you the methods of cervical spine maintenance and unraveling the 3 nodules of qi and blood for your reference - Truth
1: Relaxing the shoulder and neck is actually to untie the 3 nodules that hinder qi and blood
, and press a painful three nodules, just like the three dead points on the body. These three nodules are actually the three acupuncture points that are most affected by the long-term poor qi and blood of the cervical spine, and their unobstructed will make the cervical spine problem worse and worse!
【The first qi and blood nodule: shoulder well point】The opposite hand clenched a fist slightly, and tapped the highest point of the shoulder (not a bone) with the interphalangeal joint of the little finger, the first exploration was very painful, and the pain point was the "shoulder well point".
【The second qi and blood nodule: shoulder chastity acupoint】The scapular chastity acupoint is 1 inch on the posterior armpit fold, and there will be a stinging sensation when pressed hard.
【The third qi and blood nodule: Tianzong acupoint】Tianzong acupoint is also a nodule that particularly affects the qi and blood of the shoulder and neck, in the depression in the center of the shoulder blade on the back. It's especially easy to gather cold here.
Tianzong acupoint belongs to the small intestine meridian, and it will be particularly painful when the small intestine is cold.
"The general rule is that it does not hurt, and the pain does not hurt", the pain points are generally the hardest hit areas of qi and blood stasis, and these pain points can be pushed away by moxibustion every day, and the pain points can be pushed away in a week.
You can also cupping at Tianzong acupoint and shoulder chastity acupoint for 15 minutes each time. Pull for two days and rest for one day (if there are dark spots, don't be afraid of purple spots, it is a reaction of cold and stasis to prevent excretion from the body.) If there are no dark spots, purple spots, you can stop. Truth
2: Temper is big, and there are many problems with the cervical spine
"Dongfeng was born in spring, the disease is in the liver, and Yu is in the neck."
——"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: Jin Kuizhen's Speech"
The ancients believed that the passage connecting the liver with the outside world was in the "neck". Therefore, people with a big temper, easy to get angry, and uncomfortable liver qi often have problems with the cervical spine.
"Hard neck", in Cantonese, usually means that a person is very stubborn and has a relatively big temper, which does not seem to be a random thing.
Knocking or moxibustion on the "Yin Bao Acupoint" and "Taichong Acupoint" of the liver meridian makes the liver qi smooth, which can not only improve the function of the cervical spine, but also after rubbing the neck softly, many people find that their temper has become better.
[Two acupuncture points soothe the liver and relieve depression, so that the neck becomes soft].
Yin Bao acupoint: above the knee and five fingers wide on the inner thigh. (After sitting with your feet apart and tapping the inner thighs 3-5 times from top to bottom, the "pubic acupoint" five fingers wide above the knees will have a strong pain point, and the pain will not be touched in severe cases)
Taichong acupoint: the highest point of the foot, in the depression where the big toe and the second toe are bifurcated.
Truth 3: Cervical spondylosis is a lack of energy and a disorder of energy circulation
"There is bone hyperplasia, intervertebral disc or small joint dislocation around the cervical spine, which is only a manifestation of the material level, in fact, the imbalance of the supporting system of the whole human body's bones, muscles, tendons, diseases and metabolism of the internal splanchic system, and low function of the circulatory system may be the cause.
In other words, cervical spondylosis is not just a local problem, you can imagine that there is something wrong with the body as a whole, but in this person, it shows a series of symptoms mainly cervical spondylosis.
Therefore, cervical spondylosis at this time should not only be treated locally, but also consider enhancing the physical condition of the whole body.
"I myself have had experiences of showing symptoms of cervical spondylosis.
As a result of sitting in front of the computer for a long time and maintaining one posture, my neck and shoulders became significantly stiff in the first half of this year, and I even felt sore at times.
I soon realized that this was a neck problem, and I began to insist on standing and kneeling at work every day.
At first, I felt a distinct "creaking" sound in my shoulder blades, but then it gradually disappeared, so that I now don't feel any fatigue in my shoulders when I do hundreds of hand shakes every day.
Suggestion: Everyone should pay attention to the maintenance of the body while working, have cervical spine discomfort, and do not worry from time to time, pay too much attention to the cervical spine, but consider improving their overall physical and mental condition.
