Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and Causeway Bay believes that the cause of thoracic vertebra displacement
Trauma: Especially injuries caused by falls from heights or car accidents can easily cause the thoracic vertebrae to lose their normal anatomical position, resulting in thoracic vertebrae dislocation.
Living habits: For example, incorrect sitting posture, long-term head-down work, long-term desk work, etc. will cause the physiological curvature of the spine to change. Overexertion, pillows that are too high or too low when sleeping in a sitting position, etc. can cause varying degrees of cervical spine dislocation.
Congenital factors: such as congenital scoliosis, congenital dysplasia, thoracic kyphosis deformity during fetal period, etc. may also cause thoracic spine displacement.
Daily exercises and lifestyle adjustments to improve thoracic spine displacement
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the problem of thoracic spine displacement can be improved through the following daily exercises and adjustments to living habits:
Adjust your sitting posture: Maintain a correct sitting posture, that is, sit upright, with your feet flat on the ground, your back against the back of the chair, and your hands on your knees. Avoid bending down or maintaining the same posture for a long time, and stand up and move when appropriate.
Muscle training: Strengthen the muscles around the thoracic spine through appropriate exercises, such as deltoid, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, etc. These muscles help stabilize the thoracic spine and reduce the risk of shifting.
Practice breathing: Breathing correctly can help reduce pressure on the thoracic spine. Try to take deep breaths to fully expand your chest to reduce tension in your thoracic spine.
Warm-up exercises: Proper warm-up exercises before exercise, such as stretching, rotation, etc., can help prevent thoracic spine displacement.
Proper Massage: Massage can help relieve muscle tension and pain and promote blood circulation. You can try using a massage ball or massager to massage around the thoracic spine.
Adjust sleeping posture: Choose suitable pillows and mattresses when sleeping to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine. Avoid lying on your side or stomach for long periods of time to avoid increasing the burden on the thoracic spine.
Exercises for the thoracic spine: You can perform some exercises for the thoracic spine, such as some movements in yoga, thoracic spine stretching, etc. These exercises can help strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the thoracic spine and prevent thoracic spine displacement.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, thoracic vertebrae displacement can be treated through the following methods
Manual reduction: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that thoracic vertebrae displacement is mainly caused by trauma, bad posture and other reasons. The displaced thoracic vertebrae can be restored to their normal anatomical position through manual reduction. Commonly used techniques include traction, rotation, compression, etc., which need to be selected according to the patient’s individual conditions.
Acupuncture treatment: Acupuncture can stimulate local acupoints, promote blood circulation and muscle relaxation, help relieve pain and restore the normal function of the thoracic spine.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that thoracic vertebrae displacement is related to disharmony of qi and blood, liver and kidney deficiency, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning, such as replenishing the liver and kidneys, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, etc.
Rehabilitation training: Proper rehabilitation training under the guidance of a physician, such as chest muscle exercises, thoracic spine rotation, etc., can help strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the thoracic spine and prevent thoracic spine displacement.
It should be noted that for patients with severe thoracic spine displacement or accompanying nerve or spinal cord injuries, manual reduction may not be able to solve the problem, and they require timely medical treatment and surgical treatment. Therefore, when symptoms of thoracic spine displacement occur, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly and receive professional treatment.
