TRAUMATIC BLOCKAGES OF THE UPPER CERVICAL SPINE

Here we review the study already published about Occiput-C1-C2 blockages that occur following a fall, direct or indirect impact such as whiplash, sudden movement, or poor posture. They are also common in newborns in cases of difficult childbirth. They can cause neck pain and stiffness as well as headaches, dizziness, impaired vision, and organic disorders—digestive and cardiac troubles—related to neurovegetative dysfunction (vagus nerve).

As already mentioned, these blockages affect the T4-T5 mechanical centre.

The correction is done from the traumatic centre of the ankle. Using 1 hand, the therapist transversely interrogates the entire perimeter of the ankle, on the surface, looking for a stuck area (most often, it is located close to the medial malleolus). He keeps one hand on this area while the other one goes down the lateral side of the body. It indicates the height of the blockage in the body. In this case, the therapist finds an area in front of the mastoid process of the Temporal bone (photo 1).

Several areas – very close – in the centre of the ankle are usually found because the trauma affects several muscles (see photo 2). This corrects C0-C1 and C1-C2 blockages.

The therapist also has to control the Window of the Sky points, particularly those in the upper stripe (DM 16, GB 20, UB 10...) which can disturb the energy movement of the occiput (flexion/extension). The controls and corrections are summarised in photo 3.

This technique allows complete liberation of the upper cervical spine in a very soft way, without manipulation, even in the acute phase.

It should be noted that blockages of this vertebral region, like the others, may have origins other than traumatic (organic, endocrine, malocclusion, emotional stress, etc.). They are then treated specifically according to the causes.

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE IMMUNE AND LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

The immune system consists of the tonsils, spleen, thymus, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels. It protects the body from pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and tumor cells

There are three types of immune system disorders:
- immune deficiency, related to the spleen/thymus function on the energetic plane
- allergies, related to the liver
- autoimmunity, related to the intestines

These disorders can be innate (concept of constitution) or acquired.

The therapeutic levels related to constitution are:
- the outer pathway of the Bladder channel
- teeth
- specific corrections for miasma described by Hahnemann (psora, sycose, luese).

In cases of acquired disturbances, it is essential to determine where and how the external agent (virus, bacteria, etc.) disrupted the energy system.

The lymphatic network consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and collecting trunks. It has two main functions:
- it drains fluid accumulations in the tissues and eliminates waste products (all lymph passes through and is filtered in the lymph nodes). In terms of energy, this function is assured by the Triple Warmer and the Spleen, assisted by the Liver. Some of the controls and corrections have been studied in previous publications. We propose a specific method of lymph drainage which will be the subject of forthcoming articles.
- it has a key role in immune defence.

We should also highlight the role of diet and the psyche (the importance of the different emotional chains and Extraordinary Channels) in the proper functioning of the immune system.

TRIPLE WARMER AND CISTERNA CHYLI IN LYMPHATIC DISORDERS

The Triple Warmer has an irrigating function. It regulates the circulation of water (fluids) throughout the body and helps the Spleen to drain dampness.

Spleen and Triple Warmer disturbances are common in lymphatic circulatory problems.

OVERALL CONTROL OF THE TW DRAINAGE FUNCTION

Several possibilities, including:

Dermis transverse interrogation on the base of the 3rd metatarsal bone (photo 1)

CORRECTION

The therapist palpates through a surface vertical interrogation the TW points on the side blocked in the overall control and looks for the point which does not respond (TW 1, TW 2, TW 3 points are frequent).

He/she puts one hand on this point and with the other one looks for an area located slightly above and to the left of the umbilicus and connected to that point (photo 2). This area is located facing the cisterna chyli

Note:

The cisterna chyli is a dilated sac which receives lymph from the 2 lower limbs through both the right and left lumbar trunks and abdomen through the intestinal trunk. It is anterior to the bodies of L1 – L2 vertebrae, and the origin of the thoracic duct which goes up anterior to the bodies of thoracic vertebrae and receives lymph from the left side of thorax, then the left upper limb, the left side of the head and neck and ends at the junction of the left jugular and subclavian veins. The right lymphatic duct receives lymph from the right side of thorax, the right upper limb and the right side of head and neck, and ends at the junction of the right jugular and subclavian veins.

Observation has shown that even in lymphatic problems in the right upper limb, that correction often needs to be made. It creates a “suction effect”, like a pump, on the entire lymphatic network. It should be noted that Emile Vodder, in his manual lymphatic drainage technique, attached importance to the cisterna chyli.

The technique described above is the first step in an energy treatment aimed at draining lymph throughout the body. Another step is related to the Great Luo of Spleen, Da Bao. Nearly 80% of the lymphatic system is superficial and can be compared to a net surrounding the body, like Da Bao on the energy level. We will examine in detail Da Bao, the full treatment of drainage and the immune function of the lymphatic system in forthcoming publications.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE ACCORDING TO THE GEOMETRICAL METHOD

Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine is based mainly on questioning, inspection of the tongue, complexion, nails, and pulse taking. From these elements, the interpretation of which is not entirely free from subjectivity, the therapist chooses to puncture certain points with needles, heat them, massage them, or even use cupping. However, the energy system is so complex that there may be a gap between the therapist's intellectual approach and the patient's actual energy state.

Our approach to Chinese medicine is entirely MANUAL, without needles, moxa, or pharmacopoeia. It is based on SPECIFIC PALPATION of points, meridians, and tissues of the human body in resonance with the energy system.

The ancient Chinese have described the energy system, but not how it materializes in the anatomy (bones, muscles, skin, viscera). Palpation of points, channels and tissues is an element of diagnosis as important as the examination of pulses and tongue or the questioning of the patient. It is too often neglected. Japanese acupuncture has particularly developed diagnosis by palpation – there is a tradition of blind acupuncturists and shiatsu practitioners in Japan. Energy should not be a vague concept that is difficult to grasp, BUT A REALITY THAT CAN BE TOUCHED WITH FINGERS.

The reading grid of tissues is a set of manual controls, each related to a specific therapeutic level. To “read” tissues, the therapist needs to know HOW TO PALPATE (active interrogation of tissues) and WHERE TO PALPATE (disturbances in the energy system are inscribed in a SPECIFIC way in the tissues – skin, muscles, bones, organs). Many examples have been given in previous publications.

Through the reading grid the therapist can determine where the body is in need at a given moment (at the point of the examination), which is the disturbed energetic function(s) (Liver, Kidney, Spleen…) and at which level (the Five Shu points, Luo points, Back-Shu/ Front-Mu points, Extraordinary Channels, emotional chain of Stomach, of the Gall bladder, chain of the Spleen, outer pathway of the Bladder channel, teeth, physical traumatisms...). That is most often the aim of acupuncture treatment. It is the body that shows where it is in need at a given moment and not the therapist who decides what it is good for the patient. The therapist doesn't have to worry about the choice of points; he/she doesn't decide anything, he/she just does what the tissues tell him/her.

Correction consists in giving the body the precise information that will enable it to correct itself, and for this, tissue palpation is essential. There is no tonification or sedation technique on points.

It's important to stress that in our approach, different practitioners on a given patient find the same disturbances and therefore make the same corrections (notion of reproducibility which is an essential criterion in science).

Our aim is not to replace traditional means of diagnosis (pulse taking, tongue examination, questioning...) or treatment, but provide therapists a new tool that will enable them to confirm, clarify or invalidate the therapeutic choice they have made using conventional tools. This approach can be used as a treatment method in its own right, or as an additional tool for therapists using more traditional techniques.

THE GREAT LUO OF STOMACH (part 2)

Reminder: the way in which disturbances in the energy system, as described by the Chinese, manifest in the tissues (skin, muscles, bones, organs) specifically forms the basis of our approach to TCM. This enables the therapist to transmit the necessary information to the body so that it can correct itself.

We have seen that on the inner pathway of Urinary Bladder channel, the 8th thoracic vertebra, where there is no point, is related to Xu Li. The same applies to the outer pathway of the Urinary Bladder channel, at the level of the 8th rib. We remind you that the inner pathway of the UB channel is more related to the physiological aspect of energy functions, the physical level, whereas the outer pathway of the UB channel is more related to the psychological aspect, the emotional and mental levels. The energy blockage of the 8th rib is linked to disturbances deeper than the 8th thoracic vertebra. It is at the level of the brain, the main marrow. It's as if Xu Li channel were largely obstructed, preventing Shen energies from flowing down to the body.

OVERALL CONTROL

--> Surface vertical interrogation with the hand palm 1 handbreadth outside the base of the sternum. This control is not included in the 4 Luo control described in the previous paragraph. In the event of blockage, 2 secondary controls must be done:

a) Surface transverse interrogation on the dorsal side of the 5th toe.

b) Surface transverse interrogation on the plantar face of the interphalangeal joint of the big toe.

Dysfunction of the costotransverse articulation in the eighth rib (mobility is abnormal and on palpation, the area is dense, tense, touch-sensitive but not spontaneously).

CORRECTION

a) If the blockage is on the 5th toe, the therapist puts one hand on the 8th rib at the level of the outer pathway of the UB channel, and with the other, looks for the "rope" between his/her both hands at UB 7, UB 8 or UB 9. We find this blockage particularly in central nervous system disorders (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease...).

b) If the blockage is on the big toe, the therapist puts one hand on the 8th rib at the level of the outer pathway of the UB channel, and with the other looks for the rope at DM 17, DM 18 or DM 19. We find this blockage particularly in deep psychological disturbances.

THE GREAT LUO OF THE STOMACH

There is no point on the 3rd toe as there is no point on the T8 vertebra. They are related to the great Luo of the Stomach (Xu Li - “Abode of Emptiness”), the 16th Luo, which arises from the stomach, emerges at ST 18 point, under the left breast, crosses the diaphragm and branches into the lungs. Xu Li is the Central Column through which spiritual energies (5 Shen) descend to increase the vibratory frequency of the energies produced by the 3 Burners. To achieve this, the Central Column must not be obstructed by undigested past or present emotions, hence the importance of the different emotional chains in the treatment. The controls and corrections below concern overtension in the Great Luo of the Stomach (tension on the “walls of the pipe”) and its repercussions on a physical level. A manifestation of the Energy's ability to flow freely within will be offered in a forthcoming publication.

I – OVERALL CONTROL

Surface vertical interrogation on the base of the sternum with the hand palm. If that is blocked, 2 controls are required:

1) First, the therapist takes the 3rd toe between both hands and through an “energetic” push evaluates whether he can go through the bone or not (photo 1).

Confirmation: surface transverse interrogation on the dorsal face of the index finger’s distal phalanx, below the nail.

2) The second control is done through an osseous transverse interrogation on patella. ST 42, ST Yuan-source point, is closed and T8 vertebra is blocked (it does not respond to an osseous vertical interrogation). Confirmation: surface transverse interrogation on the dorsal side of the 4th metacarpal bone.

II – CORRECTION

1) If the first control is blocked, the therapist takes the 3rd toe with a thumb/index pinch, his/her other hand descends the Stomach channel on the lower limb, on the surface, until he/she has the sensation of a rope between hands (photo 2). That releases tension in the stomach on the left side, in the duodenum on the right side, and especially in the diaphragmic cupolae (diaphragm is the most central muscle).This blockage is very common.

2) If the second control is blocked, the therapist puts one hand on ST 42 and, with the other, looks for the rope at ST 10 level.

REFLECTION ON THE USE OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS

A point can have different energetic functions, but the way in which a point is used, beyond the notion of tonification/sedation or the combination of points, will differ according to the function to be regulated.
ST 36, Zusanli, may be used, for example, either to eliminate a toxic inscription in the Stomach, or to tonify the Yang energy of the body, or the Yang in one particular organ or viscera, or to stimulate specifically the immune function related to Spleen/thymus. But the mode of action on this point, the mode of correction, will be different in each case. It is the palpatory reading of the tissues that will determine the disturbed energy function . It is important to give the body the most precise information to enable it to correct itself. We have illustrated our approach to tcm in previous publications on this page.

TRAUMATIC BLOCKAGES

Vertebral and limb joint blockages caused by falls, shocks, improper movement, bad posture or repeated micro-trauma are corrected from the traumatic center of the ankle. Using one hand, the therapist interrogates transversally the whole circumference of the ankle, on the surface, looking for a stuck area (photo 1). He keeps the hand on this zone and with the other, runs along the lateral side of the body. The 2nd hand indicates the LEVEL of the blockage in the body (photo 2).

For one joint, the therapist will find several stuck zones, very close together, on the center of the ankle, as different muscles and ligaments are usually affected. Correction restores mobility to the joint in a very gentle, non-manipulative way, even in the acute phase.

In order to control the whole body, the therapist can interrogate vertically the anterior side of the wrist, on the surface (photo 3). If there is no response, the therapist then interrogates the traumatic center of the ankle as described above.

In the case of spinal trauma, the therapist will also control the Window of Sky points, particularly those in the superior band (DM 16, GB 20, UB 10...) which can disturb the energy movement in the occiput (controls and corrections are summarized on photo 4), as well as points UB 31 to UB 35 which can disturb the energy movement in the sacrum.

Note that control of the T4-T5 mechanical center ( photo 5) indicates the side of the blockage and enables you to assess the effectiveness of corrections made, as does overall control on the wrist.

Joint blockages can have origins other than traumatic (toxinic, clmatic, endocrine, emotional, dental...). They are then treated specifically according to their cause.

The method of correction has been discussed in various publications on this page.

THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT - TEETH

A - THE DYSFUNCTIONS OF THE TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT (TMJ) referred as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).

They are characterized by aching pain in and around the ear, bruxism, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, “click” sound when opening it, neuralgia of the face, headaches, neck pain.

We propose an additional TMJ test. This is done through a surface transverse interrogation on the anterior side of the forearm, 1 handbreadth below the elbow crease (3 cun) (photo 1). This test can be confirmed by an osseous vertical interrogation on the TMJ itself (in the GB 2 area) (photo 2).

The main causes are:

1) a blockage of traumatic origin (shock, hard food, chronic grinding or clenching of teeth..) which leads to spasms of the temporal, masseter and pterygoid muscles (the muscles of mastication). The correction is made with one hand on the traumatic centre of the ankle, the other hand looks for the blockage on the lateral side of the head, vertically to the tragus. It is also necessary to control the local points (GB 2, ST 5, ST 6)

2) overtension of emotional and mental origin (stress..). The blockages of the muscles of mastication have a nervous etiology. Energetic disturbances mainly concern the Shao Yang level (TW -GB – Yang Wei Mai). The parathyroid glands, in resonance with Yang Wei Mai, are responsible for muscle spasms.

3) malocclusion. Blockages on the forearm and TMJ persist after full treatment as well as the blockage of the T4-T5 mechanical centre. It requiers recourse to a specialist in occlusodonctis.

B - TOOTH/ORGAN RELATIONSHIP – ORAL DISORDERS

Each “dental lodge” (tooth, alveolar bone and periodontal ligament) is related to an Extraordinary Channel and an organ or viscera (photo 3), and this even if the tooth has fallen out.

Teeth are a deep therapeutic level. They are part of the Extraordinary Yang organs which are related to the Earlier Heaven energies

Different controls – some of them have been published on this page – determine the disturbed the Extraordinary Channel or organ/viscera (photo 4).

Correction consists in connecting the endocrine gland in resonance with the Extraordinary Channel, or the organ/viscera with the corresponding tooth.

IT IS CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTS A DISTURBANCE OF AN ENERGETIC FUNCTION IN DEPTH, BUT NOT A DENTAL PROBLEM (CARIES, CYST, GRANULOMA…). Moreover, the corresponding tooth is not painful. So don't be too quick to make the connection between a dental condition and the attached decoding.

Dental affections are most often caused by a poor hygiene of the oral cavity or the presence of metals, to***co, genetic predispositions, hormonal disturbances...

The deficiency of an energy function could cause the corresponding tooth to fracture.

Oral diseases, bacterial in origin and promoted by the above factors, often begin insidiously, and left untreated, they cause inflammation of the tissues around the tooth and bone (caries, abscesses, gingivitis, periodontal disease...) or at a distance, creating energy barriers.

Recent research has identified a body zone linked to bacterial inscriptions at dental level. This zone, which we call the “TOOTH POINT”, will be the subject of a forthcoming publication. From this “tooth point”, the therapist will be able to search for the affected dental lodge on the dental arches on the same side of the body, thus giving the body the information it needs to trigger the self-correction mechanism.

In case of acute dental problem as an abscesses, the therapist finds in the reading grid other therapeutic levels such as the Spleen chain in relation to the Yang phases of the disease (Inflammation = phase II; SP 15 and SP 16 are used), specific correction of LI 4 and ST 44, ST and LI points on the face, controlled through the frontal centre.
