Skeleton Check Up and Manipulation
Our body is supported by the skeleton, and joints connect to our
bones forming our frame. Pain can be the result of "mismatch"
of small or large joints. This type of "mismatch" is not
a real joint dislocation, and evidence cannot be detected from examination
by Western orthopedics, on X-ray film, CT scan or MRI. It was called
"slid out tendon, mismatched bone in Chinese orthopedics. The
type of pain resulted from this is endurable and blunt. Surrounding
the affected location, muscle tone will build up gradually and the
pain intensifies with laps of time. Anodyne and acupuncture can
relieve the pain for a short period of time, but the pain always
comes back. To completely relieve this type of pain, the "mismatched"
joint has to be relocated to its original position by manipulation
of the joint in the correct direction. It was called "Zheng-Gu"-
alignment of bone - in Chinese orthopedics.
Sitting in the wrong posture from long hours of work, carrying
heavy things improperly, unexpected falling or sliding can cause
such "mismatch" of joints. The common affected joints
are in the vertebrae and sacral-iliac joint. Those "mismatched
joint" will change the dynamic of our skeleton and the tension
of our muscles. As a result, upper and or lower back pain may occur.
For instance, sacral-iliac joint "mismatch" or "semi-dislocation"
will cause lower back pain along different length of the leg and
upper back pain in the region around vertebrae T6-T8.
We experienced many different types of pain, stress, worries, heavy
workload both at our job and home, lack of exercise, etc. We do
not forget to provide service to our car regularly, but we are too
busy to take care of our body. There should be a change in attitude
towards our health. We should provide maintenance of our body from
time to time, and whenever necessary.
