Abstract:
[Objective]To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation from the theory of kidney governor Qi pulse founded by Professor LYU Lijiang.[Methods]Firstly,analyze the relationship among the kidneys,the Governing Vessel and the spine,clarify the roles of the kidneys and the Governing Vessel on the spine,and understand the theoretical basis of the theory of kidney governor Qi pulse.Then the etiology and pathogenesis of lumbar disc herniation were analyzed based on the theory of kidney governor Qi pulse.Finally,the treatment principles of lumbar disc herniation were analyzed from different treatment methods.[Results]The three elements of kidney-Governing Vessel-spine are closely related to each other.The fundamental pathogenesis of lumbar disc herniation lies in the deficiency of the kidney and stagnation of Governing Vessel.Deficiency of the kidney results in emptiness of Governing Vessel,while Governing Vessel stagnation leads to a dysfunction in the ascending and descending of Yin and Yang in Governing Vessel.This disruption causes an inadequate circulation of Qi,blood,essence and body fluids,leading to a lack of nourishment for the tendons and bones and an obstruction in the flow of Qi and vessels.The treatment principle is to benefit the kidney and pass the Governing Vessel.By supplementing and tonifying the kidney Qi and replenishing the kidney essence,the Governing Vessel becomes filled,allowing the ascent of Governing Vessel Yang Qi and the descent of Governing Vessel Yin Qi.This facilitates the transformation of essence and marrow,promoting the smooth circulation of Qi,blood,essence and body fluids.Consequently,the lumbar vertebrae becomes stable,the lumbar muscles strengthen,the meridians and collaterals regulate properly,and the flow of Qi and vessels becomes unobstructed.[Conclusion]The theory of kidney governor Qi pulse can guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation,benefiting the kidney and passing the Governing Vessel is an important principle of treating lumbar disc herniation,and it can be carried through the whole process of treating lumbar disc herniation.
