中樞核心組織群 Core Tissues

Dr. Dou Cai （1076～1146）, said that:" If the doctors do not know the meridian, they will make mistakes during medical treatments. As unknowing about the meridians, the doctors will not know the root causes of the diseases, and the mass change of the Yin and Yang, and the transformation of three-Yin and three-Yang of Shan Han Lung. With twelve meridians, doctors can give the life and death of patients. ” 

This is a very important guideline for the following medical students and doctors in clinical works. To reduce the pains of disease and sickness is a common understanding for ancient and modern medical doctors. Their goal is the same. Understanding the meridians of bodies for Chinese medical doctors is the meaning of understanding of the tissues of nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic system in the body anatomy for modern medical doctors. Facing the same human bodies, the medical treatments should have the same ideas and theories are connected.

It is very important that the integration of our back tissues basing on the known physiology, anatomy and Chinese meridians. In modern medical words, the “ Core Tissues” is the bridge to connect the ancient medicine and modern medicine. The cores are the surrounding tissues of the spinal cord and spinal column.

Core tissues are including: neural networks, blood vessels （arteries, veins and capillaries）, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, fascia, and lymphatic networks （lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels）. As the normal workings of all organizations, our physical movements of our body will be full of flexibility. The internal deliveries of body fluid （of nerves, blood, lymph） will be unobstructed.

As the trauma happens inside of CORE TISSUES, the chain reactions will follow. Then the pains come. And the primary diseases appear.  Understanding the mechanisms of CORE TISSUES, the treatment will effective and the methods are repeatable. That is, 《Ling Shu of Huangdi Neijing》has told ： “經脈者，所以能決死生，處百病，調虛實，不可不通. Meridians decide the lives or deaths, and cure diseases. All Medicare doctors must know the workings of meridians.”

The 14 meridians, HuaTuo Jia Ji, A Shi points , Master Dong’s points, myofascial pain syndrome, myofascial trigger points, back functional areas, original point therapy, the physiology and back anatomy are involved for study of the CORE TISSUES.

The keys of the integration are CORE TISSUES. Understanding and application of CORE TISSUES is the way of solutions of pains and diseases of the body.

竇材的扁鵲心書，提到『諺云：“學醫不知經絡，開口動手便錯。”蓋經絡不明，無以識病證之根源，究陰陽之傳變。如傷寒三陰三陽，皆有部署，百病十二經脈可定死生。』對於中醫學的學習與臨床治病，是非常重要的指引。治病，解除疾病的痛苦，無論是對古代人還是現代人，都是一致的，其目標是相同的。而明經絡，對現代醫家的意義，就是必須了解人體的組織結構組成與神經網絡、血管網絡、淋巴網絡的分佈走向，即身體各個部位的組織以及彼此相互間的互動運作關係。而實際的治療與所面對的人，對於古代的醫家與現代的醫家，都是一樣的。既然目標是相同的，那麼兩者的理論應該是相通的。

以脊背組織為中心，將中醫與西醫的觀點，由臨床的實證、與已知的身體生理作用，作一個整合，找出兩者的共同核心。即，以解剖生理或是現代普遍的醫學語言，這個『共同核心』，就是以身體的『中樞神經脊椎』為中心的組織架構，以及環繞『中樞神經脊椎』的緊密組織群。

『中樞核心組織群 Core Tissues』，這是一個包含：神經、血管網絡（動靜脈與微血管）、淋巴網絡（淋巴結與淋巴管）、骨骼、肌肉、肌腱、韌帶、皮膚、筋膜等等的組織。這一組織群的運作正常，人體的運作即順暢靈活；『中樞核心組織群』局部的某一個微小的異常損傷 （trauma），就會牽連影響身體的某些部位而出現病痛症狀。臨床上的許多原發性疾病，大多數是如此所生成的。明白了其機理，就可以介入治療手法，即時迅速解決病痛。其機理，就是古人在《靈樞·經脈》所言：『經脈者，所以能決死生，處百病，調虛實，不可不通』；通經脈，也就是當代人所謂的“組織的彈性”。

《靈樞·九針十二原》：『知其要者，一言而終，不知其要，流散無窮』。本文中，探討古人之十四正經、華佗夾脊、阿是穴；近人之董氏奇穴、肌筋膜誘發點治療法、背俞穴功能帶、及原始點療法，結合現代之解剖生理，以闡述 『中樞核心組織群 Core Tissues』 的運作機理之重要性，並充分保持身體深層的組織彈性，進而達到“ 知其要 ” 的境界。
