ABSTRACT

Based on the theoretical framework of meridian tendinomuscular channels, this analysis explores spastic torticollis by examining the pathways of these channels and their relationships with the liver, spleen, and bladder meridians. It posits that there is a significant correlation between meridian tendinomuscular channels and spastic torticollis. Drawing from the current understanding of meridian tendinomuscular theory, it is proposed that the pathology of spastic torticollis involves an imbalance between tendons and bones as well as damage to the tendinomuscular structures. This leads to a diagnostic approach that identifies affected tendinomuscular areas, locates the focal points of channel congestion, and applies specific needling techniques to these points. Furthermore, a differentiated approach to acupuncture treatment based on the meridian tendinomuscular perspective can expand the diagnostic framework and therapeutic strategies for torticollis, thus improving upon the conventional, singular treatment methods for spastic torticollis.
