Discussion
The method of acupunture nuchal Acupoints can Excite muscle of Throat,prevent Disuse atrophy, throught Stimulate the damaged parts of the brain, make its activity increased. Repeated stimulation of the central excitement of the human brain, can help restore and rebuild a normal reflex arc, to the throat movement to promote the new central pathway formation. Central nervous system having a strong plasticity, continue to stimulate the central synapses can enhance or reconstruction, to achieve the re-composition of the nervous system. Repeated acupuncture can stimulate dormant synapses compensatory use[3]. Acupuncture can significantly improve post-
stroke patients with dysphagia blood circulation, blood rheology, Rheoencephalogram and skull base arterial blood flow, thereby increasing cerebral blood flow, improve the lesions of brain tissue oxygen supply, promoting lesionsestablishment of collateral circulation, and promote functional recovery of the central nervous system, to restore cerebral cortex regulation on the cortex, brainstem beam reconstruction swallowing function, thereby contributing to the recovery of the disease. acupuncture Combined with Rehabilitation Technique treatment of post-stroke swallowing disorder clinical efficacy, and safety of patients with side effects, easy to accept, a new method of treatment is to alleviate the suffering of patients.

Abstracts: Spinal correlation disease seriously affects the patients,The important cause is the imbalance of spinal stability;At present,the clinical treatment of spinal correlation disease most focus on adjusting the disorder spine joint, but how to maintain the spinal stability little researched; Yi jin jing can make human body's bones and different size of joints present the all-round and multi-angle activities as much as possible,Improve spinal ligament between joints and the surrounding muscle's strength,improve the metabolic state,accordingly to enhance spinal stability,prevent Spinal correlation development of disease,reach the purpose of preventing disease;To stabilize the treatment effect and prevent the recurrent provides new ideas after adjusted the disorder spine joint.

Spinal correlation disease[1] was developed nearly 50 years of an interdisciplinary of Chinese and western medicine, Spinal correlation disease refers to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal bones, joints, intervertebral disc and vertebral weeks soft tissue damage and degenerative changes, Under the certain condition cause spinal joint disorders. Intervertebral disc herniation.Ligament calcification and bone hyperplasia. Directly or indirectly produce a stimulus or oppression to the nerve root. Vertebral artery.Vertebral vein.The spinal cord or the sympathetic nervous.Then leading toclinical syndrome. Now clinically for the treatment of spinal correlation disease is mainly manual reset, research direction is focused on how to approach remove abnormal anatomy, the recent curative effect is satisfactory, after reset symptoms would reduce or disappear immediately, but after a period of time the small joints of the spine disorders often repeated, its root cause lies in the spine unstability and inappropriate treatment care method[2]. So how to strengthen the stability of the spine, prevent spinal correlation disease prevention and health care is necessary. Health QiGong Yi Jin Jing is the ancient Chinese tradition,through previous research has found that it has a good effect to Jin's function.And the reasearch of how to apply traditional method strengthen the spinal stability was very few. This article based on the Yi Jin Jing effects on "Jin" function, analyzedit enhanced spinal stability's mechanism.
