[Objective]To summarize Professor LUO Huasong's diagnostic and therapeutic ideas and clinical experience in treating degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.[Methods]By following Professor LUO and collecting typical clinical cases,this paper summarized and analyzed Professor LUO's treatment strategy for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis in terms of "staged treatment" and "balance of tendons and bones",and attached a medical case for verification.[Results]Professor LUO believes that the recurrent episodes of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis are caused by both internal and external factors of the spinal canal.Professor LUO emphasizes that the treatment of this disease should not only alleviate the factors within the spinal canal,but also pays attention to the lifting of the pathogenic factors outside the spinal canal,starting from the guiding principle of "balance between the tendons and bones",and adopting the comprehensive treatment of massage and bone-setting combined with rehabilitation exercises in stages,so as to reduce recurrent episodes of the disease and improve the life quality of the patients.The case cited at the end of the article was a patient accidentally sprained after exertion,resulting in an acute attack of the disease,Professor LUO treated through the combination of massage and bone-setting and rehabilitation exercises,and finally achieved good results.[Conclusion]Professor LUO's treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis,close to the disease mechanism,the importance of internal and external causative factors of the spinal canal to deal with the formation of a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,staged treatment of conservative treatment strategy,broadening the diagnosis and treatment of ideas,the experience is worth learning and popularization.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of Liu Zi Jue Qigong (LQG)-based breathing training on the curvature and range of motion (ROM) of the thoracic and lumbar spines in different positions. Methods: Forty-seven college students were selected as subjects and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. In the observation group, 27 subjects received regular LQG-based breathing training for 12 weeks, while 20 subjects in the control group did not receive any intervention. The spine measuring instrument Spinal Mouse was adopted to detect the curvature and ROM of the thoracic and lumbar spines. Results: In the observation group, the changes in the curvatures of thoracic spine in the upright and forward-bending positions showed statistical significance after LQG exercise (P<0.05), while there was no notable difference in the control group. The comparison of ROM of the thoracic spine from the upright position to the forward-bending and load-bearing positions showed statistically significant difference in the observation group (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the control group. There was no significant difference in the lumbar curvature and ROM in the two groups after LQG exercise. Conclusion: LQG-based breathing training improves the curvature and ROM of the thoracic spine.
