Chiropractic medicine believes that normal physiological bending of spinal bone in sagittal plane and normal vertical state in horizontal plane are the basic conditions for autonomic nerve to play its role; Most patients with chronic diseases are characterized by disorder of anatomical position of spinal bone or abnormal arrangement of spinal column. Judging from the phenomena of nerves, anatomy, exercise and physiology, the treatment of dyskinesia or chronic diseases should start with the spine bone. These views are the mainstream in the United States, Canada, Japan, Italy, France, Britain and other countries with advanced medical care.
Chiropractic medicine is a special technology that combines acupuncture, moxibustion, scraping, pricking blood, cupping, small needle knife, acupoint massage and physical therapy to adjust the strain, tension, stiffness or degenerative changes of joints and related soft tissues of the spine, and restore the biomechanical balance in the spine. Remove acute and chronic injuries of soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, fascia, nerves, blood vessels, etc.). ) around the spine, thus regulating its external biomechanical balance and the balance of qi, blood and yin and yang. This method can be used to treat spinal dislocation, soft tissue around the spine and new secondary spinal related diseases. Achieve the purpose of "conditioning and balancing the spine and curing the root cause". As Professor Gou Yabo, a doctor of medicine in Taiwan Province Province, said: "Osteoporosis is not a muscle, and it doesn't know how to treat it at all; The whole muscle is not full of vertebrae and there is a lot of pain. " "Today's doctors should first take the muscle abnormalities and joint abnormalities of diseases as the only way to eliminate pain. "
The focus of chiropractic medicine is to break the limitation of single treatment, give play to the directness, specificity and integrity of comprehensive operation, and provide diversified treatment methods for clinical treatment. Thereby forming a unique chiropractic skill.
The establishment of chiropractic medicine has supplemented the new etiological theory for the onset of various diseases and provided a new way of diagnosis and treatment. When the long-term treatment effect of some diseases is not obvious or ineffective, we might as well think and analyze from the spine from another angle and start treatment, which may lead to "another village".
At present, there are many schools of chiropractic therapy used in clinic, such as China's chiropractic therapy, American's chiropractic therapy and Japanese pelvic correction kneading therapy. Every school has its own advantages and disadvantages. Experts and scholars engaged in chiropractic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine have different experiences and opinions, so there is no unified diagnosis and treatment system. On the basis of predecessors' theories and experiences, this paper draws lessons from some theories and methods of chiropractic in the United States and Japan, and combines years of experience and understanding.
