Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of acupuncture treatment, and in particular to a novel acupuncture treatment method based on a combination of multiple acupoints for adjusting body shape, regulating qi and treating spirit. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has a history of thousands of years. Its theoretical basis mainly comes from ancient medical books such as the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. It prevents and treats diseases by adjusting the meridians and qi and blood of the human body. In recent years, with the development of modern medicine and technology, acupuncture therapy has also been continuously innovating and developing.

[0003] This system is not only rooted in traditional Qihuang ancient methods, but also combines the anatomical and physiological knowledge of modern medicine to realize the treatment concept of the trinity of form, qi and spirit.

[0004] In addition, since its treatment plan mostly relies on the subjective judgment of doctors, there are certain limitations in standardization and popularization. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention proposes a novel acupuncture treatment method based on a combination of multiple acupoints for adjusting body shape, regulating qi, and treating spirit, aiming to simplify the operation process, improve the standardization of treatment, and maintain or enhance the treatment effect.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a new acupuncture treatment method based on a combination of multiple acupoints for adjusting body shape, regulating qi and treating spirit, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Determine the patient's body deviation through inspection and palpation;

[0008] Step 2: Select the corresponding muscles to be adjusted according to the deviation shape, and use acupuncture needles to stimulate the muscles to restore muscle strength and elasticity;

[0009] Step 3: Take the pulse according to the Tangye Pulse Method to determine the specific situation of the patient's qi disorder;

[0010] Step 4: Select the corresponding Qi-regulating acupoints according to the pulse diagnosis results, and use filiform needles to regulate the pulse;

[0011] Step 5: Select the corresponding acupuncture points for treating the mind by observing the patient's mental state, and use filiform needles for acupuncture to treat the mind;

[0012] Step 6: During the treatment process, continuously monitor changes in the patient's morphology, qi, and mental state, and adjust the acupuncture program based on these changes.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the visual diagnosis includes observing the patient's uneven shoulders, long and short legs, yin-yang feet, yin-yang hands, hunched back, rectus abdominis separation, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt, and external distorted manifestations of herniated disc.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the palpation includes determining the patient's muscle needle insertion points by manual palpation, specifically including tender points, tendon nodes, and cords.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the decoction pulse method is based on the difficult meridian pulse formula, takes the traditional inch pulse as the diagnostic method, and is modeled on the Bian Que pulse method. At the same time, it uses the five elements' generation and restraint principle and the characteristics of the meridians' rise and fall to perform pulse diagnosis.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the shaping muscles include but are not limited to:

[0017] Muscles corresponding to high and low shoulders: rectus capitis major, descending oblique muscles, and splenius capitis;

[0018] Muscles corresponding to leg length: soleus, tibialis posterior, internal oblique, external oblique;

[0019] Muscles corresponding to the yin and yang feet: interphalangeal muscles;

[0020] Muscles corresponding to the Yin-Yang hand: interphalangeal muscles;

[0022] Muscles corresponding to rectus abdominis separation: rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles;

[0023] The muscles corresponding to the anterior and posterior pelvic tilt are: rectus femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus;

[0024] Muscles corresponding to lumbar disc herniation: internal oblique muscles, external oblique muscles, latissimus dorsi, lower trapezius muscles, and gluteus maximus.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, the Qi-regulating acupoints include but are not limited to:

[0026] Acupoints used to regulate the Cun pulse: Shaofu, Qiangu, Jingqu, and Yangxi;

[0027] Acupoints used to regulate the Guan meridian: Dadun point, Zuqiaoyin point, Taibai point, Xiangu point;

[0028] Acupoints used to regulate the radial pulse: Yingu, Weizhong, Yangchi and Neiguan.

[0029] As a further improvement of the present invention, the acupuncture points for treating the spirit include but are not limited to:

[0030] Acupoints used to improve heart-kidney disharmony: Water and fire are in harmony, heart-kidney space point, kidney gate point, and tranquilizing point;

[0031] Acupoints used to improve internal injuries caused by seven emotions: Shaoshang, Tanzhong, Jiuwei, Tianshu, Futu, and Jiexi;

[0032] Acupoints used to improve innate emotions: Si Shencong, Naohu, Shenting, Shangxing;

[0033] Acupoints used to improve loss of consciousness and lethargy: Baihui point, Sishencong point, Biyi point, Zhongzhu point;

[0035] Acupoints used to improve restlessness and more movement than restlessness: Neiguan, Shenmen, and Laogong.

[0036] As a further improvement of the present invention, during the acupuncture treatment process, the steps of adjusting the body shape, adjusting the qi and treating the mind can be performed simultaneously, or they can be adjusted in sequence according to the specific conditions of the patient.

[0037] As a further improvement of the present invention, it is applicable to a variety of diseases, including but not limited to:

[0038] Diseases of the musculoskeletal system, including cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, and arthritis;

[0039] Diseases related to visceral dysfunction, including stomach pain, constipation, and diarrhea;

[0040] Mental and psychological illnesses, including insomnia, anxiety, and depression;

[0041] Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: hypertension, cerebral stroke, hemiplegia.

[0042] Beneficial effects of the invention: The invention can effectively improve the accuracy and efficiency of acupuncture treatment through precise acupoint combination and standardized treatment process. It not only simplifies the operation steps and reduces the dependence on the doctor's personal experience, but also makes acupuncture treatment more scientific and standardized through systematic treatment plans. In addition, the method can also adjust the treatment plan according to the patient's real-time feedback, so as to achieve better treatment effects.

[0043] In clinical applications, the treatment method of the present invention has shown significant therapeutic effects. For diseases of the musculoskeletal system, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, arthritis, etc., after receiving treatment, the patient's symptoms have been significantly relieved and the quality of life has been improved. For diseases of visceral dysfunction, such as stomachache, constipation, diarrhea, etc., through the comprehensive treatment of regulating qi and adjusting body shape, the patient's digestive system function has been improved. For mental and psychological diseases, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, etc., through precise acupuncture of the acupoints for regulating the mind, the patient's sleep quality and emotional state have been significantly improved. For cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as hypertension, cerebral stroke, hemiplegia, etc., after receiving treatment, the patient's blood pressure is stable and the blood circulation in the brain is improved.

[0044] In summary, the present invention provides an innovative acupuncture treatment method, which not only inherits the essence of traditional acupuncture, but also combines the advanced concepts of modern medicine, bringing new breakthroughs to the field of acupuncture treatment. The promotion and application of this method is expected to bring good news to more patients and inject new vitality into the development of traditional medicine. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
