Traditional Chinese Medicine Bone Setting Therapy (Luo's Bone Setting Method)
Chinese medicine bone setting therapy is also known as "injury" or "bone injury department". In ancient agricultural society, the incidence of bone injury was very high, and it was a common and frequently occurring disease. At that time, the medical conditions were very poor, and the transportation in rural border villages was blocked. Once a fracture occurred, it was very difficult to seek treatment. Therefore, practice makes perfect, and demand produces talents. Some larger villages and towns almost always have one or two local doctors and local methods for treating bone injuries. Bone setting therapy has become a widely distributed and diverse Chinese medicine therapy in my country. The characteristics of Chinese medicine bone setting therapy are manifested in three aspects. First, there is a unique understanding of bone physiology and bone injury pathology according to Chinese medicine theory, second, the wonderful use of techniques, and third, the characteristics of drugs. These three points combined often form a unique therapy and a famous school. With the development of society and the extensive and in-depth academic exchanges, Chinese medicine bone injury therapy has a tendency to converge, but the regional characteristics, technique characteristics and drug characteristics of some famous trauma experts and famous trauma schools still exist. Compared with Western medicine bone injury, Chinese bone setting therapy still has its unique advantages. Luo's bone-setting method has a history of more than 300 years. Luo's Chinese medicine bone-setting has many advantages over Western medicine orthopedics in its unique treatment of repositioning, straightening, bone setting, tendon repair, fixation and medication. It is a typical representative of Chinese traditional medicine orthopedics. It is a cultural carrier of the long history of Chinese medicine and has a high historical recognition value and medical research value. Strengthening its protection and inheritance is of great significance to promoting national traditional culture and promoting the development of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics. As an important inheritor and outstanding representative of Luo's bone-setting method, Luo Youming's noble medical ethics of being kind, saving lives and helping the wounded, and not seeking fame and fortune, as well as his superb medical skills, have been widely recognized by the world and he is known as the "bone-setting master", "orthopedic master", "benevolent master", and "good doctor with benevolent heart". As time goes by, Luo's bone-setting method and Luo Youming Chinese medicine orthopedic hospital are facing unprecedented difficulties and pressures and are in urgent need of national protection.
