466 Western Acupuncture

Su Yang's future has a clearer goal, which is to go to the health care group.

To this end, he conducted intensive training on his abilities in a targeted manner, especially on chronic diseases.

He also increased his investment in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

On that day, he was reading a book in the office, and Zhang Cheng, the director of the gastroenterology department, suddenly walked in.

"Boss Su, what are you busy with?" he said with a smile.

Last time, Su Yang's wonderful ideas in treating Crohn's disease gave him a lot of enlightenment, so he has now started a joint project and is working in full swing.

From then on, as long as he has time to come and walk around.

He sat down on the chair in front of Su Yang. When he saw Su Yang put down the book, he picked up the book with curiosity and flipped it out: "Western acupuncture research?"

When Zhang Cheng saw the name of the book, he was shocked.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at Su Yang like an alien.

What is this guy thinking in his head? Isn’t acupuncture not the wisdom of China? Why do we look at the research on acupuncture in the West? Didn’t we lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds?

Su Yang glanced at Zhang Cheng and couldn't help laughing: "Boss Zhang, when you look at your appearance, you know that you don't understand acupuncture."

"I'm not a Chinese medicine department, how could I understand?" Zhang Cheng continued to flip through the book and said with a smile.

"Aren't you doing scientific research with the acupuncture department? It's been a long time since you haven't made any progress?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head like a rattle: "That thing is too difficult. When I hear those who are so slap!" At this point, he raised his head and looked at Su Yang: "What? Boss Su, is this Western acupuncture different from ours in China?"

He just saw a chapter, which mainly talks about the difference between Western acupuncture and Chinese acupuncture.

After hearing this, Su Yang nodded: "Western acupuncture and Chinese acupuncture have essential differences in theory and method."

In recent years, Western acupuncture (MA) has not only received a certain degree of recognition in clinical applications, but also gradually formed a systematic theory, and the relevant content has been formally included in Western medical higher education courses.

However, the theoretical basis of Western acupuncture is different from that of Chinese acupuncture. It is based on the trigger point (also known as trigger point, mTrp) theory. Although this theory is different from the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, its efficacy in treating pain diseases is very obvious and has attracted widespread attention.

However, during the introduction of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture into the West, the theories of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture such as meridians and acupuncture points specificity have been questioned due to the results of Western clinical research.

However, the acupuncture points and myofascial pain points of traditional Chinese medicine have certain similarities in terms of anatomical locations, disease responses, clinical indications, and linear sensory distribution caused by acupuncture.

Therefore, comparing and analyzing and researching Western acupuncture medicine with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture will help promote the development and promotion of modern acupuncture, and will also help improve Su Yang's medical skills.

If he wants to enter the health care group and gain a foothold in it, he must have his own skills. After thinking about it, he thinks acupuncture is the best skill.

First, not many people know about this thing, and even fewer people master it. It is even rarer to have mastered it. Moreover, this thing also represents traditional culture, and it is easier to attract the attention and attention of relevant leaders in any aspect.

Second, most people who can come to the health care group for medical treatment are middle-aged and elderly people. People of this age are no longer as good as before. Many treatments are no longer suitable, such as surgery, and those treatments are too hurtful. Moreover, many people at this stage are still in important jobs and cannot undergo large-scale surgical treatments. The best choice is conservative treatment. Obviously, acupuncture is the best of all conservative treatments. It takes a short time, takes effect quickly, and does not have much side effects. It is precisely based on these considerations that Su Yang trains acupuncture as his expertise.

That's why he began to study Western acupuncture.

In the 19th century, British doctors observed that the main tender points of acupuncture could relieve muscle and joint pain. Subsequently, acupuncture could stimulate the release of endogenous opioid peptides, and the theory of gate control was proposed. The scientific nature of acupuncture therapy was gradually recognized by Westerners.

With the development of neuroscience, especially the emergence of neurotransmitters and neuroplasticity, it also provides a modern scientific basis for the scientific basis of acupuncture.

Western acupuncture doctors have also summarized and summarized it in continuous practice, and the concept of Western acupuncture has gradually formed.

Western acupuncture medicine refers to a treatment method that includes acupuncture. It is an adaptive change in the modern anatomy, physiology, pathology and evidence-based medicine system by traditional acupuncture.

This so-called scientific acupuncture therapy has rapidly developed in countries and regions such as Europe and the United States, and has an increasingly greater impact.

Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture is guided by the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and based on the theory of meridians and acupoints. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture believes that acupuncture points are specific and classifies acupuncture points according to their special therapeutic effects, such as Wushu acupoints, Yuan acupoints, Lue acupoints, Xi acupoints, and Eight meridian intersection acupoints. There are also methods and principles for their compatibility in clinical applications.

Western acupuncture has not yet formed a unified theory. Some people believe that it is the limited acupuncture point with the least acupuncture, some people believe that it is the determination of the acupuncture treatment area, some people believe that it is the acupuncture subcutaneous acupuncture point (mTrp), and some people believe that the treatment should be more in line with the concept of neurophysiology.

Therefore, Western acupuncture does not talk about acupuncture points. The main theories are local axonal reflexes, dorsal root reflexes, nerve regulation in the same and across segments, and regulatory effects of the central nervous system.

Unlike traditional Chinese medicine's view, Western acupuncture does not include concepts such as "yin, yang, and qi" in traditional Chinese medicine. It believes that stimulation of traditional acupuncture points is likely to be sensory stimulation to the nervous system. The mechanism of its vortex effect mainly includes three aspects: local effect, spinal cord segmental effect and supraspinal effect.

Western acupuncture does not mention acupuncture points and meridians. Felixmann believes that acupuncture points and meridians do not exist in the traditional sense. Of course, there are also links "myofascial lines" with acupuncture meridians. In 1997, Western scholar myers proposed the concept of "myofascial lines" and proposed that "myofascial lines" overlap with meridians.

Su Yang talked happily and explained the differences between Western acupuncture and Chinese acupuncture that he understood one by one. Zhang Cheng listened and was stunned. After coming to his senses, he stretched out his thumb.
