With the acceleration of the pace of life, the increase of work intensity, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, the incidence of chronic painful diseases is constantly increasing. After long-term work and study, we may find obvious discomfort symptoms such as muscle soreness and shoulder, neck, waist, and leg pain, which have an impact on our daily work and life. Many people think of using orthopedics to relieve pain and regulate the body's condition. How does traditional Chinese medicine use orthopedics to treat bone injuries? Next, we will introduce the relevant knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic treatment for bone injuries.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics is a common treatment method that uses massage, medication, or instruments to restore the affected tissue to its normal position based on the specific location of the disease in the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics is non-toxic, has no side effects, causes less pain, is non-invasive, does not require surgery, has good surgical efficacy, and heals quickly, allowing patients to quickly return to normal life and work in a short period of time. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine bone setting is gradually being recognized by the public.
1. Fractures
Fractures are inevitable in daily life due to severe injuries. The method of traditional Chinese medicine bone setting can restore the displaced or separated area to its normal anatomical position, gradually allowing the fractured area to heal. It can reduce the pain of internal fixation with screws and steel plates during surgical treatment, and effectively reduce patients' pain and treatment costs through traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic methods. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for fractures mainly includes four steps: reduction, splint fixation, functional exercise, and medication. It can not only restore the fracture to its normal position, but also correct the disorder of qi and blood function caused by injury. It has a good effect on promoting fracture healing and limb function recovery in the body.
2. Joint dislocation
When a joint is dislocated, traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics can also be chosen to restore the joint to its normal position. If the dislocation is severe, medication can accelerate the joint's reduction.
3. Joint injury
When the joint is injured due to sprain or stretching, it is difficult to take medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, etc. to work. It can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine bone setting by pressing, kneading, rotating, etc., which has the effect of meridian qi and blood and pain relief.
4. Tendon injury
Previously, it was widely believed that surgical suturing should be performed immediately after tendon injury. However, after clinical practice, it has been found that using orthopedic methods can straighten the fractured tissue and then perform surgical suturing for better results, as well as reduce the patient's pain.
5. Lumbar Disc Herniation
The incidence rate of lumbar disc herniation has increased significantly in recent years, which is related to the long-term lumbar stress and keeping posture unchanged. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses methods such as seat rotation and traction to adjust the slightly misaligned facet joints to the correct position, improve the tension of the intervertebral disc, restore balance inside and outside the spine, and eliminate abnormal pressure on the intervertebral disc.
6. Cervical spondylosis
The occurrence of cervical spondylosis is often related to the compression of the vertebral artery caused by the displacement of the cervical spine, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to symptoms such as dizziness and headache. Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic treatment for cervical spondylosis involves correcting the displaced vertebral body to its normal position through manual manipulation.
Traditional Chinese medicine bone setting reduces a lot of trouble for patients, reduces pain, eliminates the need for hospitalization, and can save a lot of medical expenses. There are many rehabilitation techniques for bone setting in traditional Chinese medicine. In the process of joint and bone recovery after bone setting, acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, oral Chinese medicine, external application and other methods can be used to promote the rehabilitation of the injured part. During the recovery period, it is important to reduce physical activity, avoid exacerbating injuries, and consume foods rich in high-quality protein.
Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics is gradually being widely used in orthopedics due to its evidence-based medicine and advantages in terms of efficacy, cost, and other aspects, gradually becoming the development direction for treating common bone injury diseases. The combination of theory and practice alleviates the pain brought to patients. Although traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics can treat common orthopedic diseases, it is necessary to have a clear diagnosis of the disease and seek professional doctors for orthopedics before orthopedics to avoid worsening the condition or even causing harm.
