Abstract：Based on the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and the clinical practice of needle-knife,this article systematically expounds the theoretical system and diagnosis and treatment plan of"paired needle-knife method"in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain(CNLBP).It is proposed that the core pathogenesis of CNLBP is deficiency of the Conception and Governor Meridians and an imbalance between yin and yang,the key lies in the deficiency of Yangming Meridian and the weakness of tendons and muscles.Under the theoretical guidance of the paired acupuncture theory,the therapeutic principles of regulating the Governor and Conception Meridians,strengthening the Yangming Meridian,and unblocking meridians are established to achieve the coordinated regulation of the abdomen and back and restoring the yin-yang balance.Integrated with modern anatomy and biomechanics,the study further elucidates the mechanism by which this therapy restores spinal stability through modulating the functional balance of core muscle groups and fascial tension.A comprehensive diagnosis-treatment system from theory to practice is constructed,offering a new perspective for the needle-knife treatment of CNLBP.One test case is attached.
