我们生活中常听到有人说腰不行了，脖子疼等。这些问题其实都属于脊椎问题。患者虽在骨科反复治疗，依然无法根治，巨大的疼痛困扰很多人的生活。这究竟是为什么呢？

We often hear someone says that her waist is uncomfortable, the neck is painful. These problems actually belongs to the spinal problems. Although patients repeatedly take part in many orthopedic treatment, they still cannot get an effect result, huge pain give people a lot trouble to their life. What’s the deep reason?

 

脊柱由骨、关节、神经、肌肉、筋膜、韧带组成的一个有机整体，它们的共同作用使人能够区别于其他动物，能够稳定的一直保持直立。从局部和整体考虑，脊柱存在着内平衡和外平衡。

Spine is consisted by bones, joint, nerves, muscles and fascia, ligaments as a whole organ. Human beings can be different from other animals just because they work together to make us can stable upright. From part and overall consideration, spine exists internal balance and external balance.

内平衡：

Inner balance:

上图是从脊柱整体上所取的一个腰椎节段。腰椎节段在不受任何外在压力时（即躺着时），椎间盘内有一定内压的，一般是10N每平方厘米（大约一公斤重物体的压力），通过椎间盘的面积算出大概有150N，即15公斤的力量。这个内压是韧带的预紧力提供的，保证了腰椎的稳定。即内源性平衡。

The picture above shows a lumbar spine as a whole from the segment. When the lumbar segmental not subject to any external pressure, intervertebral disc has a internal pressure, generally is 10 per square centimeter of n (about 1 kg heavy pressure) of the object, through the disc to calculate the area of about 150 n, namely the power of 15 kg. Force of the internal pressure is ligament, guarantee the stability of the lumbar spine.

 外平衡：

Otter balance:

下图脊柱后面的肌肉群张力作用，维持了人体的直立姿势，保持了人体前后、左右的平衡。任何前柱及后柱的破坏及疾病均可打破脊柱在骨盆及髋关节的平衡。从而导致后方肌肉群的疲劳和疼痛；同样，后方腰背部肌肉群的劳损和疾患，也会导致脊柱失衡。

The picture below illustrates the back of the spine muscles tension, which maintain the body upright posture, the balance of the body all the sides. Any damage and disease about anterior column can break the balance of the spine in the pelvic and hip joint, therefore leading to rear muscle fatigue and pain. Also, the strain of the rear of the back muscles and disease can cause imbalances in the spine.

早在1987年，Write就提出了脊柱稳定性的概念。他认为真正导致脊髓和神经根压迫损害症状的原因应该是“脊柱失稳因素”。打个形象的比方，把附着在脊柱上的诸多肌肉想成是绑在电线杆上的铁索，这些铁索维持着电线杆的稳定，但这种稳定有个前提，就是铁索对电线杆的拉力要均衡，一旦不能平衡，势必造成电线杆不稳。

As early as 1987,  Write puts forward the concept of spinal stability. He thought the real cause of spinal cord and nerve root compression damage symptoms should be "spinal instability factors". A image, for example, to think of many muscles attached to the spine as is tied to a pole on the cable, the cable to maintain the stability of the pole, but this kind of stability is a prerequisite, is paying for balancing pole pulling force, once can't balance, certainly will cause unstable poles.

由于X光片只对骨头显影，对肌肉、韧带不显影。所以患者很容易只看到骨头而忽略那些黑影里维持着脊柱稳定的诸多肌肉、韧带、筋膜等组织的存在。如果当这些软组织出现了劳损或者病患，就可能导致内、外失衡，脊柱失稳。这种不稳定就会造成导致我们常见的椎间盘突出、椎体滑脱、骨质增生，其中脊柱后方的韧带也会因为过度的劳损出现骨化。

Since x-rays only for the bone development, not development on muscle and ligaments, patients only can see the bones and easily ignore the shadow which maintain the stability of the spine of the existence of the muscle, ligaments and fascia tissue. If when the soft tissue appeared strain or patient, can lead to internal and external imbalances, spinal instability. The instability can  lead to our common intervertebral disc herniation, slippage vertebral bodies, hyperosteogeny, among them in the rear of the spinal ligaments can also because of excessive strain in ossification.

所以，我们得出一个结论：脊柱的失稳才是造成绝大多数脊柱疾病的根源。

Therefore, a conclusion can be made that spinal instability is the root cause of the vast majority of spinal disease.

进一步，想彻底治愈腰颈椎病，除解决引起症状的直接病变外，根本在于恢复整个脊柱的正常承载结构和形态，重构整个脊柱的内外整体平衡。如果不能重建脊柱内外平衡，复发也只是时间问题而已。

Furthermore, if someone wants to completely a cure lumbar cervical or vertebra disease, instead of solving the cause of the symptoms’pathological changes, mainly he should restore the normal bearing structure and form of the whole spine, reconstruct the whole spine, both inside and outside the overall balance. If you can't rebuild spinal internal and external balance, relapse is just a matter of time.

这也揭示了为何很多腰椎颈椎病患者，在进行诸如牵引理疗后，没多久又旧病复发，周而复始，痛苦不堪。因为疾病的根源是不健康的生活方式，生活方式不改变，现代医学无能为力。

It also reveals why a huge number of lumbar cervical spondylosis patients. After such as traction therapy, it didn't take long and relapse and pain. Because the disease is the root cause of the unhealthy way of life. If the way of life doesn't change, the modern medicine cannot do anything.


从章韶华的自医学理论的疾病观来看，脊椎疾病看似为“病”, 实则是身体对不正确对待自己的正常反应，是对人类的警示。他在自医学纲要里指出“所谓疾病不仅是人体健康的一个组成部分，而且是保护人体或保持健康的一个必要手段。也就是说，如果疾病是人体不正常活动时的正常反应，那么要想警惕和纠正人体的不正常活动，唯有借助疾病提供的一系列数据或感觉。所以，疾病不是人生中应当诅咒的东西，而是人生中比健康更值得尊重、更值得敬畏的东西。原因很简单，没有疾病的警示和引导，人体的健康就无从谈起。”

From Zhang shaohua’s point of view, self-treatment theory, spinal disease looks like "disease", but in fact it is an normal reaction to the human body, which didn't being treat well, it's also an warnings to human beings. He pointed out in the  "so-called disease not only is a part of the health, and it also protect the human body, by which a necessary means to keep healthy. That is to say, if the disease is the normal reaction to abnormal activity in human body, so to be vigilant and correcting abnormal activities of the human body, only provide a series of data with the help of a disease or feeling. So the disease should not be cursed, since life is more than health deserves respect and fear. The reason is very simple, without disease warning and guidance, the health of human body is impossible."
