How to effectively treat myositis ossificans

Myositis ossificans is an abnormal ossification phenomenon. It is relatively common in clinical practice and its etiology is relatively complex. There are mainly two types: traumatic and progressive. Many people do not know how to treat myositis ossificans. In this case, Chinese medicine fumigation can be used.

1. Chinese medicine fumigation

[Prescription] Put fenugreek, Chinese earthworm, zedoaria, costus root, pittosporum tobira bark, smilax glabra, millettia reticulata, trillium, curcuma, raw chuanwu, raw kusnezoffii, papaya, and pangolin in a special basin, add 2000ml of vinegar, soak for 30min, then add 2500ml of water and boil. Remove the residue from the heat, place the affected part on the medicinal liquid, cover it with a cloth, steam it with hot air first, and use a towel dipped in the medicinal liquid to apply hot compress to the affected part. When the water temperature drops to 50 ℃ - 60 ℃, immerse the affected part in the basin for washing, gently rubbing it while washing. Each fumigation and washing lasts about 1 hour, twice a day, and each dose lasts 2 days. 5 doses constitute a course of treatment.

2. Manual therapy:

(1) The patient takes a sitting position, and the surgeon stands on the affected side. The surgeon holds the palm of the patient's affected limb with one hand, and uses the thumb and index finger of the other hand to slowly stroke downward from the shoulder. When stroking, the surgeon pinches the affected limb once every section to achieve the purpose of tendon separation.

(2) The operator uses the thumb of his right hand to massage the acupoints from the shoulder and arm to the Quchi, Shousanli, Hegu and other acupoints in order to relieve pain.

(3) The operator uses the palms of his hands from the armpit to the elbow and down to the forearm to use the "rubbing method" first lightly and then heavy, and then from heavy to light to rub the myositis ossificans to achieve the effect of relaxing muscles and tendons.

(4) The surgeon grasps the distal end of the affected limb with one or both hands and uses the “pulling” method to pull the affected limb along the path. The pulling force should not be rough, so that the extension function of the affected limb can be gradually restored.

(5) The surgeon fixes the upper arm of the affected limb with his left hand and holds the wrist with his right hand, using the "flexion method" to flex the palm of the affected limb toward the shoulder. At this time, the operator should use even force and not be impatient for results. So as not to aggravate the soft tissue injury of the elbow. The above methods are first

After the fumigation, repeat the procedure 3 times. The best time is 15 minutes, once a day.

3. Massage method:

As early as in Huangdi Neijing "Suwen·Jutonglun" it said "pressing will disperse the blood and qi, so pressing will stop the pain", and also said: "pressing will bring heat, and when the heat comes, the pain will stop." "Suwen·Xueqixingzhipian" records that "the body is frightened, the meridians are blocked, and the disease is caused by insensitivity, which can be treated with massage and wine." This shows how long its history is. Massage can relax muscles and tendons, remove blood stasis, promote regeneration, and loosen tissue adhesions. Functional exercise can speed up blood circulation and improve local metabolism, which complements massage. It can be combined with Chinese medicine fumigation and washing that can warm the meridians and dredge the collaterals, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dispel wind and dampness, promote qi circulation and relieve pain, and soften and disperse nodules to achieve the purpose of healing.
