[Reporter Xu Lijuan/Kaohsiung Report] Mr. Wu, an Indonesian overseas Chinese, was diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) before the new year, and his weight suddenly increased by 20 kg. In Indonesia, he tried acupuncture and massage, and took painkillers, but he returned to Taiwan for medical treatment. He was diagnosed with left sciatica caused by a protruding lumbar intervertebral disc. The doctor performed "high-frequency thermal coagulation therapy" commonly known as Western acupuncture, and the pain improved within a week. , so that he no longer screams in pain.

Yang Zimin, vice president of Qixian Spine Surgery Hospital who treated Mr. Wu, pointed out that after a long-distance bus ride, Mr. Wu had pain from his thigh to his knee, especially when he had to stand up from a chair. I tried acupuncture and even went to a shaman for massage, but it didn’t work at all. After suffering the pain for more than a month, I returned to Taiwan for medical treatment under the recommendation of a friend, and was diagnosed with the 5th lumbar spine and the 1st sacral vertebrae by MRI. The intervertebral disc herniated, the lumbar sacral intervertebral disc compressed the nerve and caused left sciatica, but it was not enough to require surgery. Therefore, high-frequency thermocoagulation therapy is recommended, and at the same time, it is combined with weight-loss drugs from the Department of Cardiology to reduce the burden on the lumbar spine.

Yang Zimin said that "high-frequency thermal coagulation therapy" like Western acupuncture outpatient surgery is characterized by pain relief, safety, avoiding hospitalization and general anesthesia, and blocking pain without damaging nerves. The principle is to use electric burning needles to enter the affected area Generating heat at a constant temperature of 42°C through electromagnetic waves, stimulating the pain point twice per second, 20 milliseconds each time, continuously acting on the nerve tissue, generating heat through molecular motion friction, which can induce tissue cells in the magnetic field to produce thermal coagulation Effect, resulting in moderate nerve thermal coagulation, to achieve the curative effect of blocking pain.

Regarding the treatment process, Mr. Wu said that he was a little nervous when inserting the first injection, but it would be gone after the second injection. Although the curative effect varies from person to person, he completely improved within one week after the treatment.

Yang Zimin said that after the treatment, Mr. Wu still needs to pay attention to maintain his ideal weight, maintain correct posture and avoid lifting heavy objects.

He said that in addition to sciatica, neck pain, fifty shoulders, tennis elbow, back pain, lower back pain, tailbone pain, joint pain, plantar fasciitis, and pain after spinal surgery are also indications. If the health effect is not obvious, you can go to the pain clinic to ask a specialist for further examination, and through accurate diagnosis, the most suitable treatment method can be determined.
