Choi Kyung-ju, who is in his second heyday, how did he overcome his herniated disc?
Aug 02, 2024
Korean golf legend Choi Kyung-ju once again wrote a new history. It was the first Korean to win the PGA Senior Open Championship at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland on the 29th (Korea Standard Time). Although he already held the record of the first Korean win and most wins on the PGA Tour in 2002, he proved his potential again in the senior competition.
However, it took considerable effort for 54-year-old Choi Kyung-ju to win the trophy. He revealed his difficulties in an interview with a media company in May after setting the record for the oldest championship ever at the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) tournament. He said he has been suffering from deteriorating back health for years, and suffered from lumbar discs and stenosis in vertebrae No. 4 and No. 5.
Then, how did he overcome his herniated disc and enter his second heyday.
Choi is known for his thorough self-management. I quit drinking, soda, and coffee and do therapy and massages, including stretching, for more than 40 minutes every morning. In addition, efforts are being made to prevent the deterioration and recurrence of herniated disk by taking care of health through professional treatment. In particular, he said that he has been receiving acupuncture treatment at a self-sustaining oriental medicine hospital for a long time.
In the medical world, the exact name of the herniated disc is 'Lumbar Intervertebral Plate Escape'. A disc (intervertebral disc) is located between the vertebrae, and it has excellent elasticity, preventing collisions between the vertebrae and buffering external shocks. However, if the disk is damaged or out of place due to shock caused by traffic accidents, incorrect posture habits, and regression of the spine, it causes inflammation and compresses the surrounding nerves. As a result, stiff back pain and lower extremity radiation pain across the hips and legs are also considered to be characteristic.
Sometimes it is confused with spinal stenosis. However, spinal canal stenosis is a phenomenon in which the spinal canal narrows and the nerves are compressed, causing pain. Unlike the waist disc, it is difficult to straighten the waist.
Most of them can be improved with non-surgical treatment, except for herniated discs of severity or higher, such as paralysis of the lower extremities or bowel disorders. Among them, oriental medicine relieves pain centering on oriental medicine integrated treatment that combines Chuna therapy or acupuncture and acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment relaxes the stiffness of the surrounding muscles and promotes blood circulation to lower pain. In addition, herbal acupuncture treatment, which extracts and purifies active ingredients of herbal medicines and injects them into hard blood, quickly calms inflammation, reduces pain and helps regenerate damaged nerves and tissues.
In particular, herbal acupuncture treatment for herniated disc has been proven to be effective through several papers. In particular, according to a paper published in the SCI(E)-level international academic journal Frontiers in Neurology', herbal acupuncture containing synbaromethin, which combines active ingredients such as headworms and windproofing, lowered inflammation and pain caused by herniated disc and slowed the regression of the disc. Specifically, oxidative stress-related substances (TNF-α, IL-1β) that cause inflammation were reduced by up to 80%, and ADAMTS-5, an enzyme involved in disc degeneration by destroying cartilage, was also reduced. Exercise function has improved significantly since the 10th day of administration.
Sinbarometine is a pure herbal ingredient discovered by Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital and Seoul National University's Natural Water Science Research Institute, and it also obtained a U.S. substance patent in 2003. Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital has demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effect, bone and cartilage protection, and regeneration effect of Shinbaro herbal acupuncture through various experiments and SCI (E) international academic journals. The acupuncture treatment that Choi Kyung-ju receives is also known as Shinbaro acupuncture.
Lee Nam-woo, director of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, advised, `Aging cannot be avoided, but systematic management and effort will never betray.' `The importance of regular eating habits, steady exercise, and professional treatment is more important than ever before as we face the super-aging era.'
