Therapeutic Approach and Demonstration of Tuina for Orthopedic Pain: Taking Neck Pain as an Example
Therapeutic approach and technique demonstration of Tuina for pain in internal disorders: exemplified by headache
In many internal diseases, pain serves as the cardinal symptom. When modern medicine classifies these conditions as primary or functional disorders in the absence of organic pathology—such as primary headache, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and somatic symptom disorders associated with anxiety—pain management becomes the primary therapeutic objective. Tuina therapy has demonstrated clinically significant efficacy in alleviating such pain. This lecture will introduce the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) paradigm of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, elucidate how Tuina techniques implement tonifying and reducing effects, and demonstrate a standardized clinical protocol for managing primary headache through Tuina.
Therapeutic approach and technique demonstration of Tuina for orthopedic pain: exemplified by neck pain
Orthopedic diseases refer to a type of disease characterized by degenerative changes or acute or chronic injuries to bones, joints, and surrounding muscles and soft tissues, with pain and limited joint function as the main manifestations, such as cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, lumbar muscle strain, etc. Tuina has demonstrated clear clinical efficacy in alleviating pain caused by orthopedic diseases. This lecture will introduce the Tuina principle of 'treating both symptoms and root causes', outline key techniques for pain relief, and demonstrate a complete clinical protocol for managing neck pain through Tuina.
