Brief introduction of traditional Chinese medicine bone setting therapy (Zhang's bone injury therapy)

Applicant: Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province

Zhang's Department of orthopedics and traumatology was founded in 1823 of the Qing Dynasty. It has been more than 180 years. Zhang's seven generations of inheritance, in the manipulation of bone setting, internal and external application of traditional Chinese medicine, fir skin fixation in the treatment of rheumatic arthralgia, fracture tendon injury and other bone diseases unique.

In the early years of Daoguang reign of Qing Dynasty, Zhang zhengzhuan had to travel around and teach the martial monks the traumatology and external treatment. At the end of Daoguang's reign, his son Zhang Rukui opened baochuntang trauma department in Huangyan. Zhang Yutang, the third generation's descendant, summed up a set of internal and external principles, methods, prescriptions and medicines. He used Chinese herbal medicine and ancestral fingering to treat soft tissue injury. For trauma patients, he used catechu Decoction to wash and clear sores, and pearl powder to promote muscle regeneration. Zhang Xianfa, the fifth generation's descendant, combined modern science and technology to make the traditional bone injury therapy leap forward. The characteristics of Zhang's bone injury therapy are as follows

1. Pay attention to the holistic view, the relationship between visceral Qi and blood, the touch diagnosis and the hand touch heart meeting.

2. Emphasis on both muscle and bone. By using the unique manipulation of acupoints and tendons management, we summarized the "ten methods of bone setting", that is, "hand touching, pulling and stretching, rotating and flexing, end lifting and pressing, rocking and touching, pinching and pressing, folding and turning, massage and massage, and acupoints and tendons management". The manipulation is soft, light, steady and accurate, reaching the state of "the patient knows that the pain bone has been closed".

3. There are strict requirements for the material selection and fixation of Chinese fir leather splint, which improves the production process. It is convenient, simple, light, not allergic, plastic, and X-ray transparent. It is conducive to early functional exercise, with self-made ointment for detumescence and fixation, and promotes fracture healing.

4. Zhang's bone injury therapy is originated from southeast Zhejiang, mountainous coastal areas, with heavy moisture. Zhang's Chinese herbal medicine has the functions of removing stasis and pain, warming meridians and dredging collaterals, and promoting fracture healing. It has a unique curative effect against coastal dampness.

The inheritors of Zhang's bone injury therapy are old or near the age of 60, so it is urgent to cultivate successors to get rid of the plight of lack of successors. It is urgent to save the traditional Zhang's bone injury therapy.
