The paper introduces the thinking of the diagnosis and treatment with high-dense silver needle therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) based on the theory of six-meridian differentiation. According to the severity of LSS and the depth of illness location
LSS is differentiated as six syndromes/patterns
including
taiyang
disorder
yangming
disorder
shaoyang
disorder
shaoyin
disorder
jueyin
disorder and
taiyin
disorder. The high-dense silver needle therapy is used. The main points include the bilateral
Jiaji
points (EX-B 2) from L
1
to L
5
and the acupoints of the bladder meridian of foot-
taiyang
(1.5
cun
lateral to each side of L
1
to L
5
); and the supplementary points are selected from the affected meridians. According to the disorders of six meridians
the length of moxa stick is adjusted in warm acupuncture
targeting the tender sites of soft tissue damage. In order to obtain the satisfactory effects
the appropriate physical exercise is applicable rather than absolutely limiting the movement of affected vertebrae during the treatment.
