The governor vessel belongs to one of the Eight Extra-Meridians
which plays a leading role in the meridian system. The governor vessel can regulate the growth and development of the human body and the normal operation of the viscera and meridians of the whole body. Based on the "spine-related diseases" "back-shu function band" and neural related theory
the governor vessel is closely related to the back-shu point and EX-B2
and plays an important role in affecting viscera organs. By analyzing the circulation
physiological function
and correlation of the dorsal segment of the governor vessel and the back-shu point and EX-B2
combined with the relevant understanding of the nervous system of western medicine
we propose the existence of a "Broad Governor Vessel" zone. We believe that the governor vessel and its two sides
the back-shu point and EX-B2
are associated by channel qi
and are closely related to the viscera. From the perspective of the "Broad Governor Vessel
" pathological changes such as tenderness reaction
nodule
and temperature change in the acupoint area at different spinal segments in the dorsal segment of the governor vessel can reflect different visceral diseases and further assist in the clinical diagnosis of corresponding visceral diseases. The application of different spinal segments in the dorsal segment of the governor vessel
including the correction of spinal parenchyma lesions
acupoint stimulation
and other method
can treat the corresponding visceral diseases. The proposition of a "Broad Governor Vessel" summarizes the function of the dorsal segment of the governor vessel and extends the theory
which may allow further exploration of the application of clinical diagnosis and treatment to the visceral diseases.
