The video version of the pediatric chiropractic technique explains the teaching in detail

In recent years, pediatric health massage is the most known technique for Chinese parents, and I am afraid that it must be chiropractic, and many parents are very keen to pinch their children's chiropractic.

Many health books and all kinds of pediatric massage experts, all talk about pediatric chiropractic, and only talk about the benefits of chiropractic, such as dredging the meridians, rising the sun and appetizing, promoting the flow of qi and blood, improving the function of the viscera and enhancing the body's ability to resist disease, etc., and the side effects of inappropriate chiropractic are often only a few words or even not talked about at all, which gives parents an illusion that every child is suitable for chiropractic health care. But what about the facts?

Upper or lower chiropractic?

The chiropractic mentioned in general pediatric massage textbooks and health books refers to the upper chiropractic (that is, pinching from the bottom to the top), but in practical application, there will also be chiropractic (from top to bottom), but because the chiropractic is used less in daily health care, most parents only know the chiropractic. There are different indications for upper or lower chiropractic, and to understand the applicable symptoms, you must know the principle of chiropractic.

Chiropractic is performed on the bladder meridian and pulse of the back:

The upper pinch of the spine is from the Changqiang point (near the tip of the coccyx) upwards to the large vertebral point. The yang energy of the main body of the Du Mai, and several main acupuncture points on the Du Mai are the acupuncture points of the rising sun. According to the principle of meridian massage "following the meridian as a supplement, and going against the meridian as a laxative", the purpose of pinching the spine from the bottom to the top of the meridian is to ascend the yang, which is a tonic method.

The order of pinching the chiropractic is the opposite of the upper chiropractic, which has the effect of clearing heat and purging fire and laxative, which belongs to the laxative method, which is usually used for real heat syndrome, such as the treatment of fever or constipation, and is rarely used for usual health care. In practice, the lower chiropractic is often only pinched without mentioning, or replaced by pushing the back.

For example, if a child has a fever with real heat syndrome, after the acupuncture points on the hand are massaged, the back is pushed (from the large vertebral point to Changqiang) until the skin is red and hot, which can effectively speed up the fever reduction.

At the same time, chiropractic pinch through a series of important acupoints on the back bladder meridian, which has a direct impact on the kidneys, spleen and lungs because the fundamental purpose of pinching the spine is to replenish yang qi, so it is more suitable for symptoms such as food accumulation, constipation, diarrhea, and colds based on deficiency and cold syndrome.

     

For the real heat syndrome or yin deficiency internal heat syndrome, it is not suitable to pinch the chiropractic frequently, otherwise the more you pinch the internal fire, the heavier it will be, and it is likely that constipation will worsen, mouth and tongue sores, night sweats will worsen, and irritability and even fever will occur at night.

Case:

There is a child who is less than a year old and exclusively breastfed, and the mother listened to a local pediatric massage therapist when the child was just one month old, saying that chiropractic is very good for the child and can enhance the child's resistance. So from the full moon to the child every day on the chiropractic, not before the chiropractic child stool is normal, but after a few months of chiropractic, the stool becomes more and more dry and smelly, appetite is getting worse and worse, so the mother consulted the pediatric massage therapist, the massage therapist said that it may be the wrong way to pinch the method, simply teach her the method and let her continue to pinch (or let the mother pinch the child chiropractic), as a result, the child's constipation becomes more and more serious, when the consultation has developed to 4~5 days of stool, sometimes it is necessary to open the cork to relieve the stool, The child often cries because he can't pull out the stool, and when he asks about the mother's daily diet, he doesn't find much of a problem, the only possibility is that it is caused by a long time of chiropractic.

     

There is also a mother's child with long-term severe night sweats, constipation, often tonsil inflammation and fire, and because of severe night sweats and often colds, I inadvertently asked if I usually pinch the child's chiropractic, and she said that she insisted on pinching the child's chiropractic for almost two years, almost every day, and it has not stopped in winter! My mother was very puzzled and asked, didn't the book say that chiropractic can enhance resistance? But why is it that I pinch my child's body every day, but it is getting worse and worse? I can hear and see this side effect of inappropriately pinching the chiropractic for a long time almost every month. Therefore, no matter how good the health care method is, it also depends on the individual's physique.

     

Some experts emphasize that chiropractic is based on the seven-year-old (imaginary age) as the dividing line, pinching from the bottom to the top before the age of seven, and pinching from the top to the bottom after the age of seven. Is there a direct relationship between physical fitness and age? Could it be that those under the age of seven are yang deficiency, and those over the age of seven are yin deficiency? Pinching the spine will help the heat, and the heat will promote the acceleration of the body's functions, so it is necessary to stop according to the child's physique, and not pinch more every day, generally 3~9 times can be, and it is useless to pinch more.

Some parents blindly believe in the health care effect of chiropractic and think that the more pinching, the better, pinch the child more than ten or twenty times a day, and continue to pinch in the morning and evening, and if you persist for a long time, it will cause more serious damage. Special reminder, because chiropractic will aggravate stomach fire, children with strong stomachs and weak spleens are the kind of children who can eat very well and feel that they can't eat enough and are easy to accumulate.

The upper chiropractic is suitable for the right time

When is the best time to pinch the chiropractic?

According to the time of day, it is best to be in the morning, the sun rises in the morning, and it is also the time when the human body is full of yang energy.

In principle, you should not pinch the spine, otherwise you will be injured by the rise of yang and yin, and you will recruit real heat patients. This is the reason why some parents report that their children's sleep deteriorates or even becomes irritable after pinching their children's chiropractic at night. According to the time of year, it is best to be spring and summer, and the winter should be mainly Tibetan yang, and pinching the spine will cause yang gas leakage, and because the winter is colder, yang gas leakage is easy to be infected with wind cold, so in principle, it is not suitable to pinch the chiropractic parents in winter.

      

Some parents asked, my child is prone to colds, and a little constipated, but not very easy to get angry, or some said that the child can't tell what kind of physique, neither easy to get hot nor cold, but I really want to do chiropractic health care for the child. In this case, it is recommended that parents pinch their children's chiropractic in the morning and push their children's backs from top to bottom in the evening, or knead the three yin jiao and Yongquan acupoints after doing the upper chiropractic in the morning, which can prevent the fire caused by the upper chiropractic to a certain extent. However, for children with obvious real heat, it is still not recommended to pinch the child frequently.

 

Precautions

In addition, it should be noted that the side effects of chiropractic mentioned above are the consequences of long-term accumulation, and if you pinch once or twice occasionally, no matter which direction, there will generally be no obvious side effects. For example, some high fever without sweating can be pinched up or down, the purpose is to sweat and reduce fever, in this case, it is advisable to use heavy techniques to stimulate to achieve the purpose of relieving sweating and reducing fever, and the direction is not the key. The usual health care of chiropractic depends on the child's age and physique, and a relatively gentle technique is used.
