Dr. Jonathan Liu, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner with more than 26 years of professional medical experience, shares the story of one of his patients. Ms. Ren, a middle-aged woman, is fond of literature and spends much of her time reading. At one point, Ren suddenly experienced a sore neck and dizziness after reading for just over five minutes.
At her appointment, Liu checked Ren’s pulse and after palpating her cervical spine, found severe degeneration manifesting as straightening of the natural neck curvature. Excessive pressure was resulting in pain at the inferior nuchal line under the skull base of the neck, together with pain from pressure on both sides of the cervical cone, especially from C-4 to C-6.
