How does Chinese medicine treat hyperosteogeny

First, hyperosteogeny belongs to the category of senile degenerative disease. There are many hypotheses about its etiology and pathogenesis, such as mechanical theory, functional theory, vascular disorder, metabolic disorder, endocrine disorder, etc. The basic understanding is that on the basis of internal causes, the disease is induced by external causes. At present, western medicine uses non hormonal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, physical therapy and surgical treatment, which has a certain effect on relieving symptoms, but so far there is no special effective treatment.

Second, in traditional Chinese medicine, there is no disease name of "hyperosteogeny", which can be classified into the category of "bone arthralgia" from its pathology. In Huangdi Neijing, there is the name of "Gubi". It is pointed out that the main clinical symptom is "bone weight can not be lifted, bone marrow ache". The pathogenesis includes the internal causes and inducements of "kidney does not produce, marrow can not be full" and "cold Qi to". Later, there are related etiology and pathogenesis in zhongzang Jing, Jingyue Quanshu and Yiqiao.

Third: in the past, the treatment of modern Chinese medicine did not focus on "hyperosteogeny". In 1961, there was a report on the treatment of neck pain, which actually included cervical hypertrophy. It was not until 1973 that there was a special report on "hyperosteogeny": with the aging of the society, the hyperosteogeny of the middle-aged and old people has increased year by year, so the reports of treating this disease with traditional Chinese medicine have also increased, and there are related literature reviews.
