What is the principle of treating orthopedic diseases in winter and summer?
Neck, shoulder, lumbago and leg pain, osteoarthrosis and other diseases belong to the category of "bone arthralgia" in traditional Chinese medicine. Su Wenbi in Huangdi Neijing said: "Wind-cold-dampness is combined into arthralgia". "the so-called joint pain, cold and dampness have their own emphasis." "Jing Yue Quan Shu" also said: "Joint pain is blocked by the evil of qi and blood" and "it hurts to be blocked". The internal causes of this disease are weakness and lack of yang. Exogenous pathogens take advantage of the situation, making muscles, joints and meridians impassable, which is an external cause, and internal and external factors cause disease due to interaction. Therefore, strengthening and improving physique, caring for healthy qi, eliminating and preventing exogenous pathogens are the key to prevent and treat this disease.

What is the method of treating orthopedic diseases in winter and summer?
Treating winter diseases in summer emphasizes both internal and external treatment. Internal treatment is mainly oral Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that it varies from person to person, from place to place and from time to time. Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the physical fitness from the inside out and consolidate the internal foundation. Compared with internal treatment, external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is simpler, more practical and easier to operate. Acupuncture, fumigation, external application and other traditional Chinese medicine treatments are particularly effective in dog days, because at this time, the skin is slack and the pores are dilated, and drugs can easily penetrate from the skin to acupoints and meridians, and reach the affected area through meridians and qi and blood.
