针药相须治疗腰椎间盘突出症经验

Experience of acupuncture and medication for lumbar disc herniation

针药相须,并非是单纯地将二者相加,而是先辨清疾病背后的病因病机,再根据针灸技术与药物各自的特点,使不同的疗法有机结合。李滋平教授认为,在腰椎间盘突出症的辨证上,应当多体系综合辨证产生更为全面的认识。治疗上,常运用盘龙针法结合飞针通络调神,穴位注射透穴注药,汤药祛邪固本兼施,平衡罐配合运动疗法调筋防复。针药相须思想,能将不同疗法的优势有机地结合起来,使其效果相互得到增强或补充,在临床治疗上取得良好的效果。

The combination of acupuncture and medication is not the simple adding of the two treatments, but identifying the etiology and pathogenesis behind the disease at first, followed dynamic integration of different therapies according to the characteristics of acupuncture-moxibustion and medication. Professor LI Zi-ping believes that a more comprehensive understanding based on multi-system syndrome differentiation is essential for lumbar disc herniation. In treatment, the pan-long needling technique combined with flying needling could regulate collaterals and adjust spirit;acupoint injection could transfer medication into acupoints;herb decoction could eliminate the pathogens and strengthen the root;the balanced cupping combined with exercise therapy could regulate tendons and prevent recurrence. The principle of the combination of acupuncture and medication could organically integrate the advantages of different therapies, so their effects can be enhanced or supplemented. This method has achieved superior effects in clinical treatment.
