Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis (Wang's Chiropractic)
Wang's spinal therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine health care therapy used by imperial doctors in the Qing Dynasty to treat spinal and brain diseases. It combines the traditional Chinese medicine methods of treating internal diseases with external treatment, eliminating evil and strengthening the body, and mobilizing the body's own repair function. It is a traditional Chinese medicine health care therapy that integrates prevention and treatment. Wang's spinal therapy originated during the Shunzhi period (1644-1661) of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Wang Ruqing, a folk Chinese medicine practitioner, served in the army to treat arrow wounds. Due to his high efficacy, he stayed in the palace and became an imperial physician. During the Qianlong period, Wang Ruqing's descendant Wang Zhaoen was summoned to the palace to become an imperial physician. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the therapy was scattered among the people. After the Republic of China, Wang's descendants continued to practice medicine, and their therapy has never been discontinued. At present, Wang Xingzhi is the 13th generation descendant. The treatment principle of Wang's spinal therapy is mainly to select acupoints along the meridians, drug penetration and massage. According to the Chinese medicine principle of "where the meridians are connected, the main treatment is reached", the yang meridians of the human body are the main ones, and the yin meridians are the auxiliary ones, and the treatment is based on syndrome differentiation. Through acupuncture at the acupoints, the purpose of "medicine enters and evil exits" is achieved. This therapy uses bamboo cups as a drug delivery tool, and uses the bamboo's own heat-clearing and detoxifying, wind-dispersing and dampness-removing effects to work together with the prescription drugs to achieve the best therapeutic effect. The drug solution is fully injected and stored in the bamboo cup through high temperature and high pressure; the negative pressure generated during cupping allows the drug solution to effectively penetrate the human body. Wang's spinal therapy has been passed down and developed for more than 300 years, and its cultural connotation, production process and treatment technology are profound, and it is urgent to be better protected and passed on.
