MEDULLARY LESIONS - TREATED BY TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

THERAPIES

The action of acupuncture as well as the curative properties of herbs allow us to make
medullary regeneration treatments to patients suffering from partial medullary lesions. Where
the entire medullary segment is damaged, we use techniques of revitalization and tonification
of the osteoarticular and neuromuscular system; of tissue and organ revitalization. Thus a
better function of the whole body is assured, to increase quality of life and to alleviate the
specific symptoms (muscle atrophy, ankylosis and articular deformity, bed-sores, etc.)

What Are Medullary Lesions?

The medullary lesion is a damage or a

trauma of the medullary cord,
accompanied by the total or the
partial impairment of the functions
performed by the affected segment of
bone marrow. Thus, there occur
deficiencies and vegetative, motor,
reflex and sensory disorders.

Damage of the medullary tissue is caused by vertebral-medullary traumas (accidents,

falls, concussions of the spinal cord) or by spinal diseases with degenerative action upon the
medullary system (transverse myelitis, multiple sclerosis, etc.); by compressive tumors,
vascular disorders, thromboembolies, etc.

Where there are vertebral-medullary traumas, the medullary lesions occur as a result
of concussion, dilaceration or severance of the bone marrow; of a medullary ischemia (the
blood supply is cut off by occlusion or compression of the afferent arteries, a process
generating necrosis of the area of perfused bone marrow) or by a hemorrhagic process
accompanied by formation of compressive hematomas.

 The severity of neurological disorders is also defined by the type of medullary lesion –
whether it is a partial or a total one – and by the affected medullar section. Complete
medullary lesions located at cervical level cause tetraplegia. The ones located in the toraccal
and lumbar section of the backbone cause paraplegia, while those located in the lumbar
section will trigger the cauda equina syndrome (cauda equina/horse’s tail is called the bundle
of spinal nerves running through the lumbar, sacral and coccigian section). Tetraplagia is
defined by paralysis of the lower limbs; partial or total paralysis of the upper limbs; muscle
disorders in the upper part of the trunk; respiratory disorders, coughing; miction and
defecation disorders. Paraplegia includes such symptoms as paralysis of the lower limbs, of
the trunk muscles; sphincter and sensory disorders. Cauda equina syndrome is caused by
lesions located under vertebra L2; it is defined by lax paralysis, sensory, vegetative, digestive
and urinary disorders.

Treatment

The cause of the medullary lesions will determine the protocol in the patient’s healing
process. Thus, where there are partial medullary lesions caused by compression of the bone
marrow, we will try to resorb and eliminate the hematomas or the compressive tumors from
the body. Releasing the pressure exerted upon the spinal cord will restore the impaired
functions. In addition, we shall use certain substances from herbs, so we could coordinate the
decompression process of the medullary cord in the medullary canal, and also of the
compressed nerve branches.

Where there are lesions caused by vertebral-medullary traumas, the affected bone
marrow areas are regenerated by stimulating a cerebral centre and by speeding up the
processes of damaged nerve-tissue restoration. The tissular regeneration is done by Tibetan
acupuncture techniques that activate a body’s self-healing processes, namely they direct and
specialize the stem cells in the body as nerve cells.

Where the medullary lesions are caused by degenerative medullary disorders, both
their causes and the medullary lesions are treated (by regeneration techniques similar to the
previously mentioned ones). However, where the nerve cells are degenerated beyond repair,
the functions performed by the respective segment will be relocated to the functional areas of
the medullary tissue.

In order to treat the medullary lesions caused by medullary ischemias, we shall treat
the circulatory system, revitalizing the obstructed or compressed arteries, and eliminating the
obstructing or compressive factors. The causes will also be treated (hepatic, thyroid and renal
dysfunctions) that led to thrombi formation. The administered medicinal herbs contribute to
the elimination of the dead cells from the ischemic tissues and to the replacement of the
dysfunctional cells with healthy ones.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Therefore, in order to treat multiple sclerosis,
there must be restored the optimum oxygenation
level in the affected areas in the first place. That
is done by treating the dysfunctions of the
hemato-encephalic barrier. By increasing the
oxygen supply, the cellular functions and the
metabolic exchanges are restored within normal
parameters, which will improve the local
immunity.
If the stage of the disease allows it and if there
are not severe lesions, the cerebral areas and
the demyelinized nervous branches will be
regenerated, too. Where the corrosion of the
myelin sheath is too pronounced, the functions
of the respective area will be transferred to a
healthy area of the nervous system.
