【Physician’s Benevolent Heart】Benevolent Doctors Help Disabled Children with Brain Damaged Girls Re-stand After Acupuncture and Massage- Hong Kong Economic Times- TOPick – Health- Health Information

A local girl, Le Ching, suffered severe brain damage due to an accident when she was 1.5 years old. She changed from a child who could run and jump normally to a disabled child who was paralyzed in bed. However, by chance, Leqing’s mother was lucky enough to meet Huang Tianci, a Chinese medicine practitioner, to perform acupuncture and massage rehabilitation for her daughter. Over the past 2 years, Le Qing’s condition has gradually improved with the help of doctors; a little bit of progress has made people see the possibility from the impossible.

Set up free clinic services to help disabled and sick children

Huang Tianci, a 66-year-old TCM physician, is the son of Huang Daoyi. He has been in contact with disabled children for decades. He has seen many sick children who have to open an ostomy for feeding or spend their entire lives in a wheelchair, which makes him distressed. In order to allow the sick children to receive medical treatment and recovery as soon as possible, in early 2019, Dr. Huang launched the “Angel Action Free Clinic Service” at the “Yi Dao Huimin Medical Center”. Children’s parents provide daily training on “Cerebral and Spinal Care and Health”. The service has helped countless children with physical disabilities such as brain diseases and spasms. With the help of home care methods, the sick children can get uninterrupted exercise and help them recover.

Severe condition at first visit

Le Qing is one of the beneficiaries of Dr. Wong’s free clinic. Dr. Huang recalled that when he first saw Le Qing, he felt that the situation was very serious. He explained that Leqing has the characteristic of “seeing nothing with the eyes” as in Chinese medicine: although the eyes are open, they seem to be blind and do not respond to the things in front of them. Moreover, in appearance, there is an artificial tracheostomy, and next to the stoma, there is a longer granulation as large as a tail finger. At that time, the hospital doctor also suggested that due to the inflammation of Leqing’s tracheostomy, another stoma needs to be opened. The doctor could not bear it, and decided to deal with the granulation problem first, treating it as a cyst commonly known in Chinese medicine, and treating it with fire needles. After more than a month, the granulation gradually shrunk and the problem disappeared. However, she also faces a more serious test:

Leqing’s situation is special. The brain was once deprived of oxygen, causing many brain cells to fail to function. The brain is an important part that controls the functioning of the whole body. The “meridian operation” commonly known in Chinese medicine also requires the brain to send signals to the body. Therefore, the operation of the brain is the key to determining whether Leqing can recover.

In addition, Leqing’s tracheostomy is also a serious problem. Physician Huang explained that qi is the trachea, which controls the trachea; the stomach controls the digestive system. Chinese medicine says: Humans have the four seas, including the brain (the sea of ​​marrow), the sea of ​​qi, the sea of ​​blood, and the sea of ​​water and grains (the digestive system). Leqing not only has problems in the three aspects of brain, qi and digestive function, but also prone to cramps, which will also cause him to have blood problems. At a young age, all the important parts of the human body have problems, which is a very serious situation.

Long-term dependence on artificial stoma causes muscle atrophy

After the first rescue, Leqing could not control her swallowing ability. In order to avoid another accident, her mother reluctantly agreed to re-stomach her stomach. Dr. Huang said that long-term reliance on artificial stoma will atrophy the throat muscles that control the ability to swallow and breathe, and will also lead to difficulty in speaking, which is very unfavorable for children’s development.

External food and air need to enter the body through the throat. If saliva and chewing function are lost, the spleen and stomach will only get worse. At the same time, it is very important to control the contraction of the swallowing muscles and the smooth muscles in the trachea. If you don’t get exercise, the exercise that stimulates the nerves and blood circulation in the brain is not enough, and people will not recover.

Physician Huang decided to protect Le Ching’s yang energy first by massaging his throat. He described that Le Qing was not born late, and now she is like a stroke patient, just suffering from a serious illness. Pain is a necessary process in her growth stage. After children are injured, they will have their own recovery mechanism:

Acupuncture and muscle massage exercises in traditional Chinese medicine will stimulate her recovery mechanism, not excessive protection or surgery. As long as the body maintains its proper development, there is an absolute chance to heal well. However, doctors alone are not enough. Parents should also be diligent in doing rehabilitation exercises for Leqing.

In this regard, the mother also has great hope. She said that her daughter was originally a child who likes to eat and talk. It is only because the throat muscles are less used after the stoma that they atrophy, not a natural defect. The mother hopes that through constant muscle training, her daughter can one day remember how to use the throat organs autonomously.

Daughter’s remarkable progress inspires mother

The mother is pleased that her daughter’s breathing and vocalization have improved significantly. Not only is it loud, but the ability to exercise the muscle group using the sound counter has also become significantly stronger. For example, from the beginning, it can only be used for 5 minutes a day, and it can be used for 15 minutes in the morning and evening. Fully spontaneous breathing without the use of instruments. The most obvious is that when talking close, the mother can feel her daughter breathing through her nose and mouth, not through the stoma.

Secondly, Le Qing’s body responded more. Actions such as raising their hands become obvious, and they even lift the quilt themselves while sleeping. Even at the beginning, the doctor decided that Le Qing could no longer stand, but now she can stand on the stand for more than an hour. All these surprises made my mother very grateful.

Chinese medicine is responsible for what you do

Physician Huang understands that Leqing has undergone a Western medicine rescue operation, and then undergoes a rehabilitation treatment through a Chinese medicine approach. Therefore, he said in general that the medical system in Hong Kong is very good, patients can choose Western medicine or Chinese medicine, and the two factions can control each other. However, Chinese medicine is not the same as Western medicine. In particular, Chinese medicine never asks parents to sign before doing any treatment, because Chinese medicine is responsible for what they do. For example, helping children with acupuncture and moxibustion, if they do not do well, the doctor is responsible for it, and will not transfer the responsibility to the patient’s family. Dr. Huang emphasized that in TCM rehabilitation, everything is a coordinated movement that conforms to common sense and body mechanisms, and there is no invasiveness; it is easy for parents to help their children exercise at home to speed up recovery.
