1. Various non-displaced fractures: such as various bone cracks and compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, can be directly treated with oral or external application of bone-setting powder. For new injuries, 1-2 doses of the medicine can relieve pain and swelling, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and fix bones and tendons. 3-4 doses of the medicine can reach the clinical cure standard. Generally, good improvement can be seen after 2 weeks of rest. Chen's injuries were so serious that he needed 4-6 doses of medicine to treat them.

2. Displaced fractures: The bones should be fixed first, and then treated according to the specific situation.

(1) If the displaced part is not easy to be dislocated, it can be directly treated with external application of medicine or oral medication.

(2) If the displaced part is fixed with a splint, it can be treated with oral medication or external application of medication followed by splint fixation.

(3) If the displaced part is fixed with plaster, oral medication can be used to prevent joint stiffness and other sequelae of bone injury after plaster fixation. After the plaster is removed, if there is swelling, pain, joint stiffness, or difficulty in flexing and extending the joint, further rehabilitation treatment can be carried out with external application of medication.

(4) If bone nonunion, pain, or other symptoms occur after surgical treatment, oral medication can be used for treatment. After the wound heals, topical medication can be used to continue treatment.

Notes on the above treatment methods: It is forbidden for people with lumbar trauma or severe skin allergies.

Massage method: Lie prone, and family members use the palms of both hands to rub and press on both sides of the spine from top to bottom, and massage down to the buttocks to the muscles under the thighs and the back of the calves. After massaging several times, press the most obvious pain point with your thumb, from light to heavy, until you feel soreness and swelling. Continue for 1-3 minutes, then slowly relax to relieve pressure. After pausing for a while, repeat this 5-7 times, and then pinch the painful area with the tip of your thumb.

Waist rubbing method: bend your waist forward and rub your waist with the palms of both hands to generate a sense of heat, for about 2 minutes. Hot compress method: Cover the waist with a thin cloth, apply a wrung hot towel to the affected area, and then cover it with another layer of soaked hot towel to maintain the heat. Change it every 3 minutes and continue the hot compress for 20-30 minutes each time. You can also wrap heated salt or sand in a cloth bag and apply hot compress, but be careful to keep the temperature within your tolerable range.

Carrying method: The patient and his family stand back to back, bend their elbows and hold them together, then the family member lowers his head and bends over, carries the patient on his back, and gently shakes him left to right, while letting him kick his feet upwards, put him down after a while, and rest for a few minutes before doing it again. Generally, after reciting it a few times, the back pain will gradually improve.

Squat method: Ask the patient to squat down and stretch his arms upward with his palms facing each other. Another person squats down and uses the thumb and middle finger of his right hand to press and pinch the two points on the left and right sides of the patient's waist where it hurts the most, making the patient feel painful but comfortable. Then the two of them slowly stood up at the same time, stood still for a while, and then slowly squatted down. The effect will be better if you can sweat during the process.
