TCM Orthopaedics
”痛则不通,通则不痛 。“
《证治要诀》
The joints in our body are surrounded by soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. Injuries, overuse and poor posture can cause these soft tissues to tense up and pull the joints out of place. Joint misalignment will slow the recovery due to inflammation in soft tissues from constant friction and may result in chronic pain if untreated.
Bone manipulation is a technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to restore the misalignment of joints. During treatments, TCM Tuina Massage or Acupuncture is first used to relax the surrounding muscles, followed by quick and accurate traction and bone manipulation methods to fix the problem.
While most patients may experience pain relieve after the treatment, treatment outcomes and sustainability depends on confounding factors such as age, internal body condition and severity of chronic diseases and the ability to maintain good lifestyle habits!
If you are experiencing chronic pain from musculoskeletal issues, make an appointment with our physicians to receive an appropriate consultation before trying bone manipulation treatment.
