This patient got me thinking. It is generally believed that onychomycosis is caused by the deformation of nail bed. The treatment method is: first, manicure and round the nails, so that they will not grow in the meat, but this is also temporary. After a while, the toenails will still stick into the meat, causing pain. So what should we do? Second, the nail patch can pull the growth of toenails, so that toenails will not bend inward and cause pain. However, what is the effect? The effect is not good, and even many times it will be counterproductive.
What about the result of my thinking?
At first, I thought it was the toenail. It was the crooked toenail that caused the nail bed to deform. The so-called nail bed deformation is a lie. The nail bed is a soft mass of meat, and it is as long as it is. I think the reason is not the nail bed.
But after thinking about it, I found my idea was wrong. The principle of my thinking lies in soft tissue and hard tissue, as well as my own physiotherapy experience for so many years: any soft tissue can control hard tissue, so muscles control joints and keep them in the right position.
I apply this principle to the repair of paronychia. It should be that the problem of nail bed affects the growth shape of nails. Because the nail bed is soft, equivalent to soft tissue, while nails are hard, equivalent to our bones and joints and so on. Therefore, if you really want this nail to grow well, you should manage the nail bed, not manicure, which leads to the so-called nail paste becoming a lie.
But on second thought, I found that my thinking was right, but my thinking was very narrow. I am confined to the nail bed, not the whole foot, ankle or even the whole leg.
A few days ago, I found a case of treating paronychia with acupuncture on the Internet. There was a patient with paronychia at that time, and then the doctor treated paronychia. He didn't treat his foot. He just stuck a needle in his hand, and paronychia actually recovered. This is very strange.
Therefore, it is concluded that onychomycosis is due to the deformation of toenails and toenails, and the deformation of toenails is due to the deformation of calf muscles, which leads to the deformation of toenails. This is a series, and its roots should be on the legs, not the toes.
Because two friends who treat paronychia directly put a needle near Zusanli, the deformed nails became normal on their own, which also gave me a good inspiration.
