However, many practitioners in beauty salons and massage parlors did not have the corresponding professional abilities. Bone setting is easy to damage the health of consumers.
Osteogenesis is quite popular, the price ranges from more than one hundred yuan to one thousand yuan
The reporter recently came to a physiotherapy center near Wulin Gate in Hangzhou that has an orthopedic program. The orthopedic program in the store includes treatments for different parts of the waist, chest and neck. The price is 288 yuan for 30 minutes.
Osteographer is a middle-aged man who claims to be Xu.
When the reporter asked him if he had the qualifications of an orthopedic master, he said: “Orthopedics is considered as a profession in Chinese medicine. Basically, they are teachers and apprentices. My teacher is a master in a provincial Chinese hospital. I have studied with him for more than ten years. He also said that he is familiar with many orthopedic surgeons in Chinese medicine clinics and Chinese medicine hospitals, and everyone’s methods are similar. “It’s just that I don’t have the hospital’s brand endorsement. Coming."
The clerk of this store repeatedly told reporters: “For improving the cervical spine problems of white-collar workers and office workers, Master Xu’s orthopedics will have an effect.” The clerk also said that the masters are in the private sector, and truly powerful orthopedics do not need to undergo systematic training. Relying on the reputation of old customers.
The reporter's investigation found that among the bone setting projects of some beauty salons, the "Xiaoyan Bone Treatment" imported from overseas is a highly recommended project.
The so-called "small face and bone treatment" is to massage the face through the strength of the hands.
Some institutions claim that this can adjust the cheekbones, mandibles, and nasal bones to achieve the effect of thinning the face and enhancing the value of the face. The advantage is "no injections, no surgery, and no skin damage."
The reporter's investigation found that bone orthodontics has almost become the "standard configuration" of some beauty salons, footpath shops, and massage parlors today.
Searching for the word "Bone Surgery" on a certain review software, there are hundreds of organizations that provide related services in various cities. There are many projects, and the prices range from more than one hundred yuan to one thousand yuan. Most of them claim that they can "treat cervical spondylosis". "Treat lumbar intervertebral disc herniation" to achieve "body conditioning" and "physical improvement" and other curative effects.
Searching for "Bone Repairing" on a video website, there are thousands of videos for experience and shop exploration.
In the video, under the operation of the orthopedist, the customer's joints made a "click" sound from time to time, and many people exaggerated their expressions and repeatedly called "sour and cool".
In addition, many people on social software posted comparative photos before and after the bone setting experience, claiming that the hunchback problem was improved, the effect was immediate, and the height was increased.
A break to solve the thousand sorrows? Improper bone setting has serious consequences!
According to Han Zhixin, director of the Department of Acupuncture and Tuina at Litongde Hospital in Zhejiang Province, the term “bone setting” first appeared in the Qing Dynasty’s "Golden Jian of the Medical School · The Essentials of Bone Setting and Heart Setting". Press, rub, massage, and take eight methods.
Among them, there are many reduction methods for dislocations and closed fractures.
Slight misalignment of the spine, anterior pelvic tilt, and mild scoliosis can be improved by bone correction.
Osteopathic medicine emphasizes that under the guidance of a holistic view, the human body's self-healing power is activated through manipulation, and the body's structural obstacles are corrected to obtain functional recovery.
"Bone setting and osteopathy are essentially medical methods. After a detailed assessment of the patient's condition, the operation should be performed by qualified and experienced professional physicians." Han Zhixu said.
It is understood that whether bone orthosis is really necessary can only be judged by inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, laboratory examination, and imaging examination. Some diseases are not suitable for bone orthosis.
For example, severe lumbar cervical disc herniation, if it compresses the spinal cord, is not suitable for bone setting and requires surgery.
It is particularly worth noting that improper bone setting techniques may cause cervical dislocation and nerve damage, among which serious nerve damage is irreversible.
The reporter's investigation found that many so-called "osteologists" in beauty salons, footpath shops, and massage parlors do not have relevant qualifications.
Moreover, they often do not do any examinations before the bone setting, and their methods are simple and rude.
"Post-90s" Wang Peng went to a physiotherapy shop to do bone setting because of waist discomfort after sitting for a long time.
"Unexpectedly, the pain will be worse after finishing the procedure. I went to the hospital and found that it was a severe lumbar disc herniation, and the bone setting aggravated the condition." Wang Peng said.
Some consumers said that they had received "neck pulling and bone setting". After the treatment, the neck gurgled with a slight movement, accompanied by numbness in the hands, numbness in the face, chest tightness, and tingling eyes.
For this reason, he quit his job and recuperated for half a year, and went to the orthopedics and neurology clinics of five or six hospitals, but ultimately failed to find a solution to the sequelae.
A consumer shared the experience of cervical spine correction, saying that there was a short shock, "I am afraid...never do bone setting again."
A consumer said that he actually experienced bone setting and found that the symptoms of lower back pain were more serious.
According to interviewed experts, there is a great possibility of cervical spine deviation due to irregular bone treatment methods.
The deviated cervical spine may compress the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, and in severe cases, it will affect the oxygen supply to the brain, so it is prone to dizziness, headache, vomiting and even fainting, shock, etc.
The reporter's investigation found that the concept of bone-setting programs provided by massage shops or beauty salons is vague and the effect is exaggerated, which is worthy of vigilance.
The waiter of a massage shop in Hangzhou said that "high and low shoulders, long and short legs, big and small faces" and other problems can be solved by bone setting. "The master will know the effect immediately." When the reporter asked about the qualifications of the bone orthopedist, the other party vaguely said. He insists that he is a "specially invited master with many years of experience" and "all repeat customers, so feel free to come to the store for consumption."
A doctor at an orthopedic institution told reporters that general masseurs can take up their jobs after a few months of training.
"The masseur broke off the bone's'crack' sound, which stunned the consumer. In fact, this technique can be achieved with a little training. It is not a bone setting at all, and neither the symptoms nor the root cause can be cured."
Wang Tian from Beijing recently went to a "Xiaoyan Osteopathic" shop with a "good online review".
"The clerk said that my cheekbones are high and my left and right faces are asymmetrical, which can be improved after osteosynthesis. I asked the technician if I have a qualification certificate, but it was perfunctory." She said.
Wang Tian told reporters that after measurement, the back of the osteotomy had become smaller, but he felt some pain on his face.
After returning home, the pain has not disappeared.
"Especially the pain on the forehead that was pressed is unbearable. At that time, I thought it might be enough to sleep, but the pain worsened the next day, and I felt a little bit weak when I brushed my teeth."
On the black cat complaint, the reporter saw dozens of complaints related to bone setting.
A consumer complained in January of this year that the bone setting program of a beauty shop in Huli District, Xiamen City had exaggerated effects, inflated prices, and over-marketed.
Cannot use bone setting as a daily health care item
"Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, or imported overseas orthopedic bones, they are all performed with bare hands, which will inevitably involve a certain degree of risk." Wang Ping, director of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, mentioned that there are Standard procedures and specifications, operators must be trained to ensure safety.
Chen Erkun, an external teacher of the School of Social, Sports and Health Sciences of Tianjin Institute of Physical Education, said that there is currently no unified standard for the bone setting industry in the country, and there is no unified practice license.
Han Zhixin said that in regular medical institutions, after graduating from a medical school and obtaining a practicing physician's license, doctors in corresponding disciplines such as TCM Tuina, TCM Orthopedics, and Rehabilitation Medicine after three years of standardized training can do some work. Bone treatment.
Many experts mentioned that not all cervical and lumbar spine problems are suitable for bone setting, and bone setting cannot be used as a daily health care item.
If there is a real need, you should go to a regular medical institution to find a professional doctor for orthopedic treatment, and try to avoid the risk; if the problems such as slight misalignment, tilt, and scoliosis are improved, it is not advisable to continue orthopedic treatment.
For some consumers, the height after bone setting is indeed one or two centimeters higher. Experts said that this increase is actually transient. The state of tendons, ligaments and bones cannot be changed in a short time. Increased bone setting and face-lifting may be certain for a long time. The effect is very limited, and you can’t blindly believe in the business’s propaganda.
