Abstract:
The paper introduces Professor LIU Zhibin's clinical experience in treatment of Parkinson's disease with constipation by the combined therapy of acupuncture and tuina. Professor LIU believes that constipation in Parkinson's disease involves pathological changes in sanjiao (triple energizers) system, i.e. upper, middle, and lower jiao, and proposes Tiaoshen Tongfu (regulating the mind and fu organs) acupuncture and Chang'an Liu's tuina manipulation are used to treat Parkinson's disease with constipation based on the "sanjiao theory". In acupuncture, the scalp points of the anterior hairline micro-acupuncture system (Touxue, Shangjiao, Zhongjiao and Xiajiao) are selected, complemented by Baihui (GV20), Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3), Quchi (LI11), Tianshu (ST25), Dachangshu (BL25), Shangjuxu (ST37) and Zhigou (TE6). In tuina manipulation, one finger pushing, rolling and pressing are adopted.
