What is Rehabilitation Therapy?

To put it bluntly, it is to use physical methods other than surgery, similar to rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation initially refers to assisting patients with acquired disabilities to use their residual limbs to better function.Later, neural anastomosis and splicing of severed limbs were developed to restore some usefulness to the disabled limbs of patients as much as possible.

And Zhong Liangquan didn't have broken bones or nerves in any part of his limbs. His problem was his flesh.

So Shayk needs to rehabilitate his muscles.

In fact, Xie Ke was able to think of this because he was inspired by Li Shiguang.

Li Shiguang is currently studying a method of changing the activity and plasticity of neurons through electrical stimulation to control the commands issued by neurons.

And his experimental subject was Cheng Jiang.

Cheng Jiang did it voluntarily, he has been troubled by his own nightmare for a long time.

In his dream, he was always tied up by Tong Shouye and treated like this.He felt very angry and desperate at first, but gradually, Tong Shouye's face began to blur, and then it simply turned into Cheng Hai's appearance.Then, he's addicted to it.

Then, not in a dream, but in reality, he began to imagine what Cheng Jiang looked like, and abused his body.

When Cheng Jiang realized that there was a serious problem with his living conditions, his body was usually not exposed except for his clothes, and there was almost no good skin left.

Only then did he start to panic.

So he thought of Li Shiguang.

Cheng Jiang didn't dare to go to the psychiatric hospital, because he knew that he would definitely be guarded as a very serious patient in this state, and might cause some unnecessary troubles.

Li Shiguang used to be a rising star in the field of neurosurgery in Tianhai City.

If it weren't for Cheng Hai's knife, maybe his future in brain surgery would be as good as Cai Tianqiao's, or even better.

At the same time, because Cheng Jiang deliberately collected a lot of information about Li Shiguang during the lawsuit, he also knew that Li Shiguang was an all-rounder in medicine.

Because Li Shiguang's case was Cheng Jiang's last case as a lawyer, and it was also the first case in which he violated his professional ethics, so he had a very special feeling for Li Shiguang, and he has been paying attention to it ever since. he.

Cheng Jiang knew much more about Li Shiguang than Xie Ke.

He knew that Li Shiguang had shown extremely strong ability in scientific research since he was a student.Although Li Shiguang did not submit his papers to the supplements of authoritative foreign magazines like Xie Ke, he has published many very valuable academic achievements under the guidance of Professor Xu.

Because these things were recommended by Professor Xu, many people in the circle thought that the teacher was praising the students.In fact, they don't even think about it. Teachers have always squeezed students for this kind of thing. How can there be an example of a teacher giving up his own results to students for publication?

Especially a study on how to locate epileptic foci. Although this is a very long-term work, the research team headed by Li Shiguang has published a series of papers, proving that they have achieved phased success.

This series of articles was later translated into various foreign languages, reprinted in foreign journals, and aroused the attention and interest of many people around the world.There are even several annual brain surgery forums that include this as one of the topics discussed that year.

It's a pity that for some reason, Li Shiguang stopped all the work in his hands and changed to specializing in the treatment of mental illness.There is even a counseling room.

The research team had no main characters, so it had to be shelved, and then they were busy with other projects, so they had to be disbanded.

In the past, many foreign hospitals and research institutes offered an olive branch to Li Shiguang, inviting him to go to their countries to continue his research in a better environment and with more advanced equipment.However, Li Shiguang refused one by one.

Cheng Jiang himself didn't know what it was like in his heart.

He didn't think that because of an accidental injury or a lost lawsuit, Li Shiguang would give up his bright future and indulge in self-harm.

In fact, Li Shiguang did not, he just changed direction and continued to move forward.

When Cheng Jiang faced others, he didn't dare to expose his sickness.But he unexpectedly discovered that he actually trusted Li Shiguang.This man who once opposed him in court.In his memory, the man's calm and calm face after losing the lawsuit is still deeply engraved.

So he approached Li Shiguang.

Surprisingly, he didn't bother at all. Li Shiguang just listened to his intention and asked about his condition before agreeing.

Cheng Jiang thought that Li Shiguang wanted to take this opportunity to punish himself and take revenge for the past.But when he wanted to bring up the case, Li Shiguang stopped him.

"I know what you want to say, but you should believe that my professional ethics prevents me from treating my patients harshly or deliberately failing to cure them. It is precisely because of this that you come to me, isn't it?" Li Shiguang said explain.

He was right, and besides here, Cheng Jiang had no other choice.

Li Shiguang typed out a document from the computer, put it in front of Cheng Jiang after sorting it out, and said, "You should read this first before deciding whether to accept my treatment."

Cheng Jiang began to browse the document.

His brows were tightly furrowed at the beginning, then suddenly relaxed while watching, and finally became tangled.

Judging from Li Shiguang's diagnosis of him, it is believed that his problem lies in the damage of some neurons in the hypothalamus that controls human gonadal hormones, which leads to abnormal sexual preferences.Li Shiguang believed that Chengjiang had been coerced for a long time, which caused endocrine problems, and the neurons that controlled him atrophied and did not work, so the neurons that should have formed a normal structure were "wrongly built" and collapsed. form an unusual structure.The solution is to use radiofrequency current stimulation to make those neurons grow back and "pair" with other neurons.

Cheng Jiang wondered, "Is this... true?"

Li Shiguang shrugged, "The content of this document has been notarized to be true and valid. Of course, if you want to receive treatment, you must also sign a disclaimer."

Cheng Jiang agreed.

The treatment method used by Li Shiguang has indeed played some role. Recently, Cheng Jiang's physical and psychological pressure due to his special habit has been reduced.

Xie Ke also got inspiration from it after learning about it.

He is going to treat Zhong Liangquan's neck muscles with far-infrared rays combined with low-frequency waves.

Xie Ke couldn't tell Zhong Liangquan what disease he had.Because it's not a documented condition.

According to Xie Ke's observation and diagnosis of Zhong Liangquan, he believes that the root of Zhong Liangquan's problem is that the parasympathetic nerve is compressed by abnormal muscles.

This can be seen from Zhong Liangquan's symptoms which are the opposite of Horner's syndrome.

Horner's syndrome is cervical sympathetic paralysis syndrome.

The neck is the junction where various nerves cross and intersect, and the particularly important nerves are stretched freely in the neck. The autonomic nerve, or the autonomic nerve, is one of the most important nerves.It regulates body temperature and blood pressure, controls respiration, digestion and metabolism, and plays an integral role in maintaining life.

Autonomic nerves are divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic.

When nervous or feeling dangerous or excited, the sympathetic nerve will play a role, the heart rate and breathing rate will increase, the blood pressure will rise, the blood vessels will constrict, the pupils will dilate, and the gastrointestinal function will be inhibited.

When relaxing or resting, the parasympathetic nerves will play a role, the heart rate and breathing rate will decrease, the blood pressure will drop, the blood vessels will dilate, the pupils will narrow, and the gastrointestinal function will become very active.

Like the gas and brake, these two nerves have opposite functions.

Human health is guaranteed by the mutual regulation of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. If the function of one of the nerves is damaged, the coordination of the body will undoubtedly collapse.

These nerves are distributed in the neck.Therefore, the official name of brain surgery is neurosurgery, and spinal diseases are also included, because the neck is actually an extension of the brain and is inseparable.

Horner's syndrome is caused by paralysis of the sympathetic nerves. Its biggest feature is miosis, but the perception of light is normal.The retractable iris in the pupil is the organ that controls how much light gets into the eye.It shrinks when there is enough light or when it is too bright.And when the surroundings are darker, it expands.Like the aperture of a camera.

The pupils open when the sympathetic nerves are excited and close when the parasympathetic nerves are excited, automatically adjusting the amount of light our eyes absorb without our awareness.

Horner's syndrome causes the pupils to constrict due to the suppression of the sympathetic nerves, so Zhong Liangquan's pupils are dilated, which is likely to be caused by the suppression of the parasympathetic nerves in turn.

Zhong Liangquan said that he is afraid of light and often feels glare on cloudy days.

Normal people's pupils can adjust themselves, but Zhong Liangquan's pupils can't. His pupils lose control, which makes them unable to contract freely or respond extremely slowly.

Xie Ke illuminated Zhong Liangquan's eyes with a small flashlight, and found that even though so much light entered, Zhong Liangquan's pupils were still open, not closed.

This symptom, which is completely opposite to Horner's syndrome, made Xie Ke sure that the problem must be the parasympathetic nerve.

Because the parasympathetic nerve is compressed by the neck muscles, its function is inhibited and the sympathetic nerve is overactive.

There are many ways to avoid autonomic disorders, such as good habits and drug treatment.

However, if the symptoms are caused by muscle compression, it cannot be cured unless the muscle abnormality is completely relieved.

The best way, of course, is not to cut off the muscles, that is the way to quench thirst by drinking doves.

Because the function of the neck muscles is to protect and support the brain and nerves.

The human head weighs about 6 kilograms, and it is impossible to support such a weight if the neck muscles are not well developed.Some people think that a long and slender neck like a model is good-looking, but in fact, things that look beautiful and delicate are often very fragile.The same is true of the neck, and the price of beauty is that it may become the source of systemic disease.

Compared with this kind of giraffe-like head and neck, the thick and short practical head and neck can actually support the head firmly and maintain the center of gravity of the body, which is also more beneficial to health.

So Xie Ke's solution to the problem is not to cut it off, but to adjust it.

Use the periodic changes of the current to adjust the muscle problems of Zhong Liangquan.

Instead of using high-frequency electromagnetic waves such as radio frequency, low-frequency waves are used. However, Xie Ke has to go through calculations and experiments to decide which frequency band to use.

Radio waves can penetrate deep into the muscles to achieve physical functions and effects.At the same time, infrared heating is used to improve muscle abnormalities.

Using electric waves to control muscle tissue is obviously much better than rough cutting and decompression.

This is a new method, and Xie Ke thought that he would have to spend a lot of time trying to persuade Zhong Liangquan to accept it.However, Zhong Liangquan seemed to trust him very much, and agreed after only listening to a few words.

Zhong Liangquan asked him: "Does this mean that even if it is not cured, it will not get worse?"

Shaker said, "Yes."

Zhong Liangquan: "Then let's try it like this. Anyway, my shoulder pain problem has been looked at in many places and I didn't see it well. Later, I went to Zhao Hua's and found out that the intervertebral disc was herniated. I started to do surgery. Now it is getting worse and worse. Yes. As long as it's not worse."

Xie Ke was thoughtful after hearing this.Indeed, the symptoms exhibited by Zhong Liangquan are similar to many other ailments, so that they have been misdiagnosed as different ailments, such as dry eye syndrome, fatigue, etc., and even a doctor said he was depressed. Finally, Zhao Hua told him that it was a herniated intervertebral disc.

It is indeed a fact that the intervertebral disc herniated, so Zhao Hua began to operate on him.The first time, then the second time.

It was not until today that Xie Ke discovered that the key to all his symptoms turned out to be muscles.

What made him uncomfortable and painful was not a herniated disc that pressed the bone marrow and nerve roots, but abnormal muscle compression on the parasympathetic nerve!

Although Xie Ke has found the root of the problem, this disease has not been summed up by the predecessors!

This absolutely cannot be explained by a simple autonomic disorder.Because it's not an internal neurological problem, it's an external cause!

The opposite of Horner's syndrome, Shayk decided to call it "muscle inhibitory parasympathetic plexus palsy."

Shayk must now gather more cases of this type and report them to the world as there are so many people suffering from this unexplained condition!And what's worse, these patients are constantly being misdiagnosed!

Some people have turned various departments, and they are not optimistic about this disease.And some people, like Zhong Liangquan, were treated by the wrong treatment, which made their physical problems more serious.

What Xie Ke thought was that the existence and treatment of this disease must be known to the world as soon as possible.

What he didn't expect was that when he successfully reported this disease, others called it "Xie's syndrome".
