Due to the poor blood circulation of the patient, the nutrients needed by the muscles or tissues cannot be transported through the blood circulation, resulting in the lack of nutrients in the muscles of the patients and accelerated aging and stiffness. In severe cases, the muscles and blood vessels of the patients will atrophy, and some patients may suffer from joint damage. Disability and visceral failure seriously affect normal function, have a high disability rate, and bring a heavy burden to the patient's family and society.
