摘要

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity characterized by a complex etiology, rapid progression, and great difficulty in treatment. Based on the muscle region theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Professor SHEN Guoquan has proposed a therapeutic concept for AIS, namely, “treating the sinews first and giving equal importance to both sinews and bones”. This concept aims to restore the mechanical balance of the spine by precisely regulating the soft tissues surrounding it, along with the osseous structures, in accordance with the holistic concept of TCM. By summarizing Prof. SHEN’s distinctive clinical experience treating AIS with Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage), this paper discusses the theoretical basis and clinical characteristics, providing ideas and references for the non-surgical treatment of AIS.
