Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to make the theoretical presumption and conduct the primary clinic treatment of the tandem spinal stenosis (TSS) treatment from the Chinese medical perspective, in order to provide the theoretical and practical basis for the treatment of TSS and some other spines diseases. At present, there are many theoretical and clinical arguments on the pathogenesis of cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra symptoms. Based on this background, according to the single cervical spondylosis or lumbar spine disease in clinical practice with the literature reviews of Chinese medicine and clinical research, this paper is aimed at decreasing the misjudgment and misdiagnosis due to the little knowledge of the pathogenesis in the diagnosis and treatment process, as well as the phenomenon of bad treatment effects. Therefore, in the process of searching the relative Chinese medicine literature, the writer has found that the pathological changes of stomach foot Yangming Meridian recorded in The Internal Canon of Medicine are similar to the cervical lumbar syndrome presence, and the etiology and pathogenesis are consistent with the decline of Yangming pulse. This means that the effective scheme can be proposed from the Chinese medicine perspective even if the disease names are different. From the whole concept, analyze the etiology and pathogenesis of TSS, explore the relations between stomach meridian of foot-yangming and TSS from the perspective of meridians, myofascial spiral chain, construction and defense, regulating spirit and relieving pain. The result shows that treating TSS form stomach meridian of foot-yangming with needles and medicines can not only nourish stomach and spleen, activating Yang Qi, regulating spirit and relieving pain, but also can recover the physical curve of the spine, relieve the pressure to the nerve root, and promote the edema absorption. The effect is obvious and worth further research and promotion.
