Application of Muscle and Bone Balance Theory in Lumbar Disc Herniation

Abstract

Pingle Guo's theory of "Balance of Muscles and Bones" has a long history. Muscles and bones are fundamental to each other to maintain the static and dynamic balance of the spine and ensure the normal movement of the spine joint. Muscle and bone balance is the normal physiological state of lumbar vertebrae, and the imbalance of muscle and bone is the basic pathogenesis of lumbar disc herniation, which is caused by "slot out of muscle" and "bone dislocation". It is an important principle to treat prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc by massage. Aiming at the tenderness and percussion pain of soft tissue around the waist and the limitation of muscular activity around the waist, and the "osseosynostosis" of the lumbar vertebrae, which is mainly manifested by the reduction or disappearance of the physiological protruding of the lumbar vertebrae, or the decrease of the lumbar vertebrae's activity, or the different degree of scoliosis, etc. Therefore, the application of "muscle and bone balance" theory of clinical diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation is of great significance.
