TCM Clinic TCM Physician Treatment for Glaucoma 青光眼

Many people do not know that glaucoma may be started with inflammation of the eye ball. Therefore early treatment is necessary.

Glaucoma can be divided roughly into two main categories:

“Closed angle” glaucoma 闭角型青光眼—Closed angle glaucoma can appear suddenly and is often painful. If it is untreated it can lead to visual loss. One must seek medical attention immediately before permanent damage occurs.
“Open angle” glaucoma 开角型青光眼--- Open angle glaucoma tends to progress at a slower rate and patients may not notice they have lost vision until the disease has progressed significantly. Very often raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma (intraocular pressure above 21 mmHg is considered as high 眼压高).

Glaucoma is an eye disorder in which the optic nerve suffers damage, permanently damaging vision in the affected eye(s) and sometimes leads to blindness if untreated.

In Singapore, TCM physicians treat glaucoma with acupuncture and Chinese herbal Medicine. It is to enhance circulation, expel excess fluid, nourish the eyes etc. In many cases, it helps to maintain glaucoma from deteriorating further. I have seen a patient, a young man age 26, who told me that he went through more than ten rounds of laser and ended up losing his eye sight. He wondered whether his blindness was due to too many times of laser.

青光眼属严重眼疾，预后不佳。正常人眼压不应高过21 mmHg。中医认为青光眼的病因是肝经实热、肝郁气逆、阴虚火旺或其他兼症如高血压,糖尿病导致。

急性青光眼(闭角型青光眼), 患者会感觉眼睛剧痛, 眼压突然升高,非常不舒服, 必须马上到医院治疗。慢性青光眼(开角型青光眼) 也可根据病情, 眼压是否受到控制的情况, 尽早寻求治疗。除西医手术治疗外, 中医中药也是一种的辅助治疗。

在新加坡,中医治疗青光眼主要以针灸与中药治疗。中医以活血化瘀，健脾利水之法或辨证论治方法来治疗青光眼。重点是改善青光眼视盘血供, 减少房水生成或促进视神经细胞代谢等功效。中国有很多大学研究与论文发表提示通过针灸与中药治疗，在一定程度上可缓解病情, 达到协同治疗作用，优于单用西药。

TCM Physician Treatment for Back Pain -- Lumbo-Sacral Spondylosis

TCM Physician Treatment for Back Pain -- Lumbo-Sacral Spondylosis

Back pain ( Lumbo-sacral Spondylosis)

I have treated many patients with back pain ( lumbo-sacral spondylosis). Some of them had pain running down one side of their legs. I treated them with acupuncture, herbal plastering and Chinese herbal medicine. Many cases with severe pain got well after a few treatments. Some of them were scheduled to go for surgery but got well after the treatment and thus avoiding the trauma of a surgery . I treat them with a combination of the following: cupping, acupuncture, herbal plastering and Chinese herbal medicine. You may like to ask how many times a person needs to have treatment or how long it takes to get well? My answer is: some of them need two sessions while the others need as many as 10 sessions. Very often it depends on the severity of the case, the age of the patients, the duration of the illness and whether the patients have other conditions. Therefore it varies from case to case 因人而异.

It is not uncommon for many people whether they are young or old to suffer from back pain and neck pain. These days many people have to work on the computer for long hours. I have patients who are as young as 18 years old and as old as 80 years old. Everyday I see patients with back problem.

The cause of back pain is often due to the following reasons:-

- Degeneration of the inter-vertebral discs 颈椎退化;

- Narrowing of dics space resulted in nerve being pressed 椎间盘狭窄压迫神经;

- Osteophytes pressing on the nerve roots 骨刺增生压迫神经;

- Symptoms include pain and restriction of movement 症状: 疼痛与活动不利.

Lumbo-sacral Spondylosis often affects L3,L4,L5/S1 while Cervical Spondylosis often affects C3, C4, C5, C6.

I often advise patients who suffer back pain or neck pain (cervical spondylosis) to refrain from carry heavy things during the period.

For those who wish to consult a western trained orthopaedic doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Razmi of Centre for Spine and Orthopaedic Surgery at #05-13, Gleneagles Medical Centre,Tel: 67382628. He is a senior consultant and a orthopaedic surgeon. He is a very good doctor of high integrity.

Pain after Surgical Operation for Lumbar Spondylosis

On June 2011, a nun, age 65, who suffered very bad back pain, came to see me. She had a lumbar operation two years back. After the operation, she was better, the pain is gone. For about 2 weeks, she had very bad pain on her lumbar and she could not even walk properly. Her colleague was so helpful that she accompanied her to my clinic. I looked at her X-ray, quite a few bars were placed in her vertebrae. I gave her acupuncture, heat treatment, herbal plastering and Chinese herbal medicine. I told her to come for treatment every 3 days. She felt better after the 2nd week. She could walk properly and without pain after the 3rd week.
