Case 5: Stiff neck
|
|
 The goal is to forget you have the neck |
|
 Stiff neck is not so easy matter |
|
Stiff neck is so painful, sometimes accompanied
by nausea, headache, and vertigo. Chronic
stiffness spreads over the shoulder and chest.
Sometimes you may be hard to breath by the
stiffness.
All blood which sends to brain runs through
the neck. Stiff muscle blocks the circulation,
so that the blood pressure will raise.
Muscular stiffness makes you feel heavy and
tired. You will be troubled with the insomnia,
too.
You may lose your motivation. Stiff neck
catches your attention every time. So your
mind should be affected by the stiffness
much more than people imagine. |
|
| What makes your neck become stiff? |
|
Inborn skeletal structure is a very important
factor. Your structure is also formed by
your habit, work, and character.
It was said that only Japanese had stiff
neck and shoulder. Because many Japanese
have straight neck (cervival spine).
The spine must bend in
a wide curve for disperse
the weight of the head.
Nowadays the foreigners seem to be also troubled
with the stiff neck. I'm sure the computer
is a cause because of the enthusiasm, asthenopia
(fatigue of eyes) and sitting posture for
hours.
There are a lot of reasons for the stiffness.
If you are such a person
absorbed in what
you want, or if you have
strained relation
with other people, you
may tend to have a
stiff neck. |

|
| How to treat? |
|
All the meridian routes pass through the
neck. So the meridian treatment is the most
important part of Acupuncture.
I will regulate the flow of Qi, using the
yin side of the arms and legs, where exist
a lot of important Acupoints.
Besides, the arms and legs are also like
a exhaust to be cleaned up. If you are loosened
only the affected part, the stiffness will
come back soon.
I draw the tension one by one by various
skills of Acupuncture and Moxibustion. And
finally, I use my hands to arrange the whole
body. |

| Acupuncture is capable under careful examination |
|
Take care when treating the neck. As the
neck is so delicate, the treatment is very
very difficult. A failure brings to a patient
too bad condition to endure like a whiplash
injury. Caution against overdose. Don't push
the neck too hard.
If you have the numbness in your arm and/or
fingers, probably the nerve is pressed by
the muscle or something. Then the pain should
be hard and severe. Nevertheless, I know
from my experience, it is possible to cure
by Acupuncture.
Acupuncture is free from the risk of destroying
because it doesn't put the physical pressure
to the body.
Let's try Acupuncture, and examine how the
condition is moved. The progress makes me
know what will be your sickness. |
