Li Weizhou and his reset technique Our reporter Yi Xiuping
As the saying goes: the patient has low back pain and the doctor has a headache. This kind of inexplicable and unexplained "painful disease" is common and frequent. It can make people sleep and eat poorly, and can make people miserable. Traditional Chinese medicine's massage, traction, acupuncture, and Western medicine's lying down, sealing, and surgery are often difficult to cure. People's will has become a headache for doctors. However, Li Weizhou, the director of Yongjing County Maternal and Child Health Station, does not have any headaches when facing this disease. He has a "unique skill" that specializes in treating pain in the waist, neck, shoulders and soft tissue.
For more than 20 years, he has relieved more than 20,000 people from their illnesses with just one hand, with a clinical cure and improvement rate of over 96%.
Many patients need to be carried on a stretcher when they arrive. With his "guidance", they can walk freely in as little as three to five days and as long as eight or nine days.
Li Weizhou's unique skill - manual reset is not magical, and its basic principle - the leverage principle is well known to everyone. He believes that the vast majority of cervical and lumbar pain is caused by spinal misalignment causing the spinous process to deflect, damaging surrounding ligaments and muscle tissue, causing muscle edema, congestion, adhesion, and hardening, causing the muscles to deviate from their original positions and compress nerves and blood vessels. , therefore, as long as the deviated spinous processes are straightened through tendon splitting, pressing and smoothing, the vertebral joints can return to their normal positions, adapt to the surrounding muscle groups, and relieve the interference of the joint capsule and ligaments on the nerve roots. Compression improves the blood flow of the vertebral artery, and the pain will naturally be reduced or even eliminated. The principle is simple, and the equipment is even simpler. In Li Weizhou's treatment room, there are only two stools, one high and one low, and a bed, all prepared for patients. During treatment, patients with neck and shoulder pain sit on a low stool, patients with waist and leg pain sit on a high stool, and in severe cases, they lie on the bed. Without taking any pictures or fluoroscopy, Li Weizhou can accurately tell the patient's injury location and injury mechanism with just a touch. Li Changju is the proprietress of a small restaurant in Liujiaxia Town. Two years ago, she accidentally slipped from a ladder, causing her coccyx and intervertebral disc to herniate. She lay on her back in the county hospital for a month, and after returning home, she lay in bed for another three months. I tried everything possible, including Western medicine, acupuncture, and massage, but I could only get down and walk, but my hands and feet were numb and I couldn't even lift a pot of water. After being introduced by someone, she found Li Weizhou. Seeing that Li Weizhou didn't ask about his condition or ask for a X-ray examination, but just felt it with his hands, she felt a little unconvinced: "If you can feel it with your hands, why do you need hospital instruments?" Unexpectedly, Li Weizhou used a large He only stroked his thumb along her spine once and pointed out the location of her pain and dislocation. The results were exactly the same as the X-ray examination she had taken at the county hospital at that time. Seven days of continuous treatment, plus several doses of traditional Chinese medicine, tortured Li Changjuda for a long time. The pain that had lasted for many years miraculously disappeared. She happily told reporters: "I am now the same as before, and I can do any job!" "This book is my first teacher." Speaking of this unique skill, At the source, Li Weizhou took out a book with yellowed pages - "Treatment of Soft Tissue Injury with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine".
In 1977, Li Weizhou graduated from the Medical Department of Lanzhou Medical College and was assigned to work at the Chenjing Township Health Center in Yongjing County. He accidentally saw this book that had just been published at the time, and found that the various types of neck, shoulder, waist, and leg pain mentioned in it were very common in rural areas, and the treatment techniques were simple and easy to learn. So he felt like he had found a treasure, bought it, read it carefully, and tried it. Treat farmers. Li Weizhou did not expect that the methods taught in the book would actually work. Within a few years, he could no longer treat common minor injuries and pains such as stiff necks and sprains. But for serious cervical and lumbar spine diseases, he could not figure out the reduction methods mentioned in the book.
In 1982, Li Weizhou decided to study at his own expense in Beijing. After many twists and turns, he found the author of the book, Feng Tianyou, who was working in a hospital of the Air Force at the time. Under Feng Tianyou's careful guidance, Li Weizhou mastered the key points of the technique in just 10 days.
"The master leads you in, and the practice depends on the individual." It is not enough to master the key points. The reset technique relies on the skill of the hands, and it takes repeated practice to find the feeling.
After returning from Beijing, Li Weizhou began to apply this technique more widely in clinical practice. He compared human anatomy diagrams and continued to explore in clinical practice, gradually becoming familiar with every muscle tissue of the human body. At the same time, he also recorded each case, tracked and observed the clinical efficacy, summed up experience in a timely manner, and continuously improved treatment techniques. Many of Li Weizhou's patients are farmers from impoverished mountainous areas. Due to lack of money, many farmers hold on to their illnesses until they can no longer hold on until they enter the hospital. By this time, they often miss the best opportunity for treatment. In order to reduce the patient's financial burden as much as possible, Li Weizhou gradually explored a set of treatment methods that are the most economical and affordable for the patient: manual reduction + massage + vinegar compress. There is no need for instrument examination or western medicine treatment. If necessary, a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicines can be used. In this way, the patient can be cured at a cost of more than 300 yuan at most, and the patient can be cured with only more than 20 yuan.
From being a doctor at the township health center to the director of the county maternal and child health station, Li Weizhou has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years. His unique skill of curing diseases has made him famous far and wide. There is an endless stream of people who come here to seek medical treatment. Regardless of senior government officials or farmers in mountainous areas, Li Weizhou treats everyone equally. He has a "good attitude and ability". Patients who have been cured by him will sincerely praise him.
Based on clinical practice, Li Weizhou continued to summarize. In recent years, he has published more than 10 papers in professional magazines at home and abroad. Among them, "330 Cases of Piriformis Injury Treated by Massage" won the gold medal in the International Medical Academic Achievement Exchange Selection. In 2002, "Manual Reposition Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis" The article "Observation and Analysis of Therapeutic Effects of 630 Cases" won the International Outstanding Paper Award in the international exchange selection event jointly organized by the World Chinese Exchange Association and the World Culture and Art Research Center.
