Treatment of swelling and pain after fracture with traditional Chinese medicine

The mild cases are local swelling and pain, and the severe cases may be dysfunction of zang-fu organs, diseases of zang-fu organs, meridians, qi, blood, bones and muscles. Chinese medicine can adopt the methods of benefiting qi and activating blood circulation, inducing diuresis to reduce swelling and tonifying liver and kidney. Such as Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Eupatorium adenophorum, Alisma orientale, etc. The decoction is taken orally, and the local decoctions of Chinese herbal medicines such as Ramulus Cinnamomi, Ramulus Mori, Herba Lycopodii, Herba speranskiae tuberculatae, Lignum sappan, Cortex erythrinae, and Pinus tabulaeformis are washed externally, and then applied externally. Through comprehensive treatment, you can often get twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, acrobatics, which the ancients called guidance, can be used to prevent and treat some traumatic diseases through physical exercise and promote the early recovery of limb function. Wang introduced three forms of acrobatics: local exercise, whole body exercise and equipment exercise.

Local exercise Under the guidance of a doctor, patients carry out voluntary activities of limbs to restore their functions as soon as possible and prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.

Under the guidance of doctors, patients will exercise all over the body to promote the smooth flow of blood, meridians and viscera. This can not only prevent and treat diseases, but also make up for the deficiency of prescriptions.

Exercise with equipment is mainly to strengthen the strength of the affected limb and promote the functional recovery of the affected limb. Generally used are pedaling, pulling pulley, fitness ball, grip and so on.

Wang said that acrobatic therapy mainly has the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving swelling and pain, nourishing joints and meridians, promoting fracture healing as soon as possible, avoiding joint adhesion and osteoporosis, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens, and promoting functional recovery.

Promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain due to blood stasis blocking collaterals after injury, pain and swelling appear. Therefore, local exercise and whole body exercise can promote blood circulation and blood circulation, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain.

In the late stage of joint meridian injury, local qi and blood are not full, and the tendons and veins are not nourished, resulting in pain and numbness. After practice, qi and blood flow smoothly, blood stasis removes new life, bones and muscles are active, joints are unobstructed, and flexion and extension are free.

Promote fracture healing as soon as possible. Exercise can remove blood stasis and promote regeneration, improve blood circulation, and is beneficial to bone nutrition, so it can promote fracture healing as soon as possible.

Avoid joint adhesion and osteoporosis. After fracture or injury, the affected limb is in a fixed state for a long time, and joint adhesion and osteoporosis will occur after a long time. Acrobatics can dredge qi and blood and avoid joint adhesion and osteoporosis.

Strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors are conducive to functional recovery. Local injury will lead to weakness of qi and blood and imbalance of viscera, thus causing cold and dampness. Through exercise, you can not only adjust your body, make your blood and kidney full, strengthen your bones and muscles, which is beneficial to the recovery of injuries, but also avoid the invasion of pathogenic wind, cold and dampness, so that your body functions can be fully restored.
