Q. My back and shoulders are stiff as a rock.

A.

This is a symptom of referred pain, where the nerves and muscles in the back, connected to the gastrointestinal tract, have become stiff together. Massages only provide temporary relief; the problem will only be resolved when the gastrointestinal tract relaxes.

📝 Detailed Answer

담적병 환자의 등(특히 견갑골 사이)을 만져보면 판자처럼 딱딱합니다.

소화가 안 될 때 등이 아픈 것은 단순 근육통이 아니라 내장 기관의 문제가 겉으로 드러난 것입니다. 위장의 독소가 승모근과 척추 기립근에 쌓여 근육을 뭉치게 하기 때문입니다.
