Chapter 2259: Chapter 2090: Today, You’re the First
"I don’t want to, go find your Deputy Director Qiao!" Chu Xianling pouted and walked to her room.
"Don’t run away! You’re first today!" Song Xiaodong followed her quickly.
"Ah! Annoying! I don’t want to!"
"Ah hahaha!"
"Don’t rip it! I’ll take it off!"
Song Xiaodong threw Chu Xianling’s clothes all over the floor, leaving her naked on the bed.
The next afternoon, Secretary Niu sent someone to pick up Song Xiaodong for his medical consultation.
Secretary Niu and his wife Xu Jiahui were at home waiting for Song Xiaodong to arrive.
"Oh, Mr. Song, you’re finally here. My cervical spondylosis relies on you now." Secretary Niu said to Song Xiaodong.
"Look at you, only thinking about your own condition, quickly invite Mr. Song inside to talk." Xu Jiahui complained to Secretary Niu.
"Hahaha, the leader is right! Mr. Song, please come inside." Secretary Niu said with a laugh.
Secretary Niu and Xu Jiahui respectfully invited Song Xiaodong into the room and brewed a good pot of tea for him.
"Please, Mr. Song."
"Thank you."
After drinking tea, Song Xiaodong prepared to treat Secretary Niu.
"Do you know how long Secretary Niu’s cervical spondylosis has been going on?" Song Xiaodong asked Secretary Niu.
"Ah, my cervical spondylosis has been around for a long time. I remember back in high school, I loved reading novels, lying on the desk all day, looking down to read. From that time, my neck was always uncomfortable, with a vague pain. Back then I didn’t know it was cervical spondylosis. Later, as the neck pain became more severe, it also affected my hands. When I went to the hospital, I found out it was cervical spondylosis, and it’s the kind that can’t be cured." Secretary Niu told Song Xiaodong.
"Yes, looking down for long periods can indeed lead to cervical spondylosis. Secretary Niu’s type is a very common kind, mainly caused by accumulated strain. The damage to the cervical joint cartilage is not repaired over time. This is mostly related to our long periods of sitting daily, and of course, it also ties to one’s physique." Song Xiaodong stated.
"Mr. Song, does the onset of cervical spondylosis have any relation to an individual’s physique?" Secretary Niu asked.
"Indeed it has some relation. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes cervical spondylosis mainly results from external dampness invading the bone marrow, stagnating into protrusions, which is what Western Medicine commonly calls bone spurs. External dampness is generally related to physical weakness." Song Xiaodong explained.
"Oh..."
"Secretary Niu, let me take your pulse."
"Alright."
Song Xiaodong took Secretary Niu’s pulse.
After checking for a while, Song Xiaodong nodded and released his hand.
"How is it, Mr. Song?" Secretary Niu asked Song Xiaodong.
"Yes, it’s basically consistent with my earlier guess. It’s a type of cervical spondylosis due to strain. The treatment is actually quite simple; it involves enhancing nutrition, eliminating dampness, conditioning the body, and replenishing yang energy." Song Xiaodong replied.
"Mr. Song, does cervical spondylosis have anything to do with yang energy?" Sitting beside Song Xiaodong, Xu Jiahui suddenly asked.
"Yes, it’s like this: when the body’s yang energy is insufficient, it’s easily affected by external dampness. So the correct treatment approach for cervical spondylosis should be nourishing yin and strengthening yang." Song Xiaodong answered.
Actually, Song Xiaodong did not fully reveal Secretary Niu’s real health condition.
When Song Xiaodong first touched, he realized that Secretary Niu was very likely weak, with kidney function issues, leading to unsatisfactory sexual life.
However, such matters shouldn’t be directly mentioned, especially with wife Xu Jiahui sitting right beside him.
So Song Xiaodong only discussed the treatment method, without detailing Secretary Niu’s health condition. If Song Xiaodong successfully treated Secretary Niu’s cervical spondylosis, it would certainly improve his sexual function as well, benefitting Secretary Niu greatly.
"Then, Mr. Song, how should I treat this condition?" Secretary Niu asked Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong pondered briefly and said to Secretary Niu: "There are two treatment methods: one is acupuncture, the other is medication."
"Which one should I choose?" Secretary Niu inquired.
"Secretary Niu, your cervical spondylosis is a long-standing issue. So I suggest using both methods concurrently: acupuncture for quick relief and herbal medicine for root treatment." Song Xiaodong responded.
"Alright, let’s go with Mr. Song’s advice." Secretary Niu said to Song Xiaodong.
"Then I will perform acupuncture on Secretary Niu today and write a prescription for him. Secretary Niu can take the prescription to get the herbs and decoct them for consumption." Song Xiaodong stated.
"Great, Hui, quickly get paper and pen."
Xu Jiahui went to fetch paper and pen for Song Xiaodong, who elegantly wrote out a prescription and handed it to Xu Jiahui.
"I specially brought my acupuncture tools today to perform acupuncture for Secretary Niu. Secretary Niu has previously received acupuncture and should know that acupuncture treats cervical spondylosis effectively, though the results are not very lasting. For long-term effectiveness, regular acupuncture combined with consistent medication is necessary. I can arrange for my apprentice to perform weekly acupuncture for Secretary Niu." Song Xiaodong told Secretary Niu.
"That would be wonderful, thank you so much, Mr. Song. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude." Secretary Niu said to Song Xiaodong.
"Secretary Niu, please don’t say that. This is a task arranged by Deputy Mayor Han." Song Xiaodong replied.
"Yes, yes..."
"Then I’ll proceed with acupuncture for Secretary Niu."
Song Xiaodong performed acupuncture on Secretary Niu. When the silver needles pierced the acupoints, Secretary Niu couldn’t help but let out a series of pleasurable sighs.
