- Abstract: The concept of"musculoskeletal imbalance with soft tissue primacy"posits that tendon injury induced by intervertebral disc degeneration constitutes the core pathogenesis of spinal musculoskeletal imbalance.This study systematically elucidates the pathological mechanisms through which tendon injury leads to spinal instability by integrating traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)"musculoskeletal balance"theory with contemporary biomechanical research on disc degeneration.In the process of intervertebral disc degeneration,the change of stress distribution revealed by modern biomechanics is highly consistent with the TCM principle of"tendon impairment affecting bone".Finite element analysis revealing the"stability-instability-restabilization"process further validates the pathological progression from musculoskeletal imbalance to rebalance.This integrated TCM-Western medicine perspective establishes a novel theoretical framework for predicting disease progression and developing personalized therapeutic strategies,particularly in guiding clinical practice of"treating bone disorders through tendon regulation".
