How does Chinese medicine treat muscle atrophy?

First of all: emphasize the weakness of the body: focus on the deficiency of liver, kidney, spleen and stomach, which is the main pathogenesis of muscle atrophy in the later stage. The weaker the body, the more serious the disease is, and the worse the disease is, the more deficient the body is, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, early treatment should be given priority to, which is the fundamental to resist the disease.

Secondly, we should pay attention to the external pathogenic factors: the disease is caused by the invasion of external pathogenic factors, and the movement of blood essence and body fluid is blocked, which leads to muscle and nerve injury. Only by removing the external pathogenic factors, can we ensure that the body fluid will not be exhausted, biochemical active, and muscle atrophy can be restored. Opening channels and collaterals: activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis is the principle of treating muscle diseases. The treatment must be based on activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis first. If the blood is not active, the blood stasis will not go away. If the blood stasis does not go away, the meridians will be blocked. If the meridians are blocked, the muscle will lose its nutrition.

Finally: overall concept: the discussion about liver governing tendons, kidney governing bones, Qi and blood nourishing meridians and bone knot in Neijing is the theoretical basis of clinical practice. If the limbs are damaged outside, the Qi and blood are deficient inside, the Ying and Wei are not consistent, and the Zang and Fu organs are not harmonious. It shows that the damage of the human body must affect the whole body, so the whole treatment can achieve good results.

matters needing attention

Muscular atrophy is not an infectious disease, but a disease of gene defect. There are many types of muscular atrophy (such as Qiu Xin type, Beck type, spinal cord type and so on). Qiu Xin type is the most common and the most serious one. With the increase of age, the degree of muscle damage becomes more and more serious, so that the patient's limbs can not move freely, and causes the contracture and deformation of various joints. They have to rely on the support or wheelchair to walk, or even paralyze in bed.
