On the last day of 2023, I accidentally fell from a ladder and hurt my right leg near the ankle. The pain was so excruciating that I couldn't move. On the 2nd day, my husband took me to Dr. Jun Cao, who was a traditional chinese medicine orthopedic doctor with decades of Accupuncture experience. After brief examination, Dr. Cao told me that my tibia bone was broken and dislocated, and he showed me the protruding point that can be felt on the skin. Without hesitation, he decided to reset the broken tibia right away. With the assistance from two other people , Dr. Cao reset my dislocated broken tibia and aligned to its original position within 10 seconds. The protruding point became smooth and my leg felt better instantly. It was a great relief for me, since otherwise it usually requires a major surgery to implant a metal rod inside the bone and some metal clips around it. On the next day, I did the X-ray from urgent care. X-ray showed that besides the comminuted fractured tibia, my right fibula was also fractured, and fortunately there was no dislocation. Even though the swelling was quite severe, I believe traditional Chinese medicine can help. With Dr. Cao's professional care, I started my recovery journey. Besides Accupuncture and Tuina treatment every week, Dr. Cao provided his insightful tips on every step of the way, for example, when to take a Chinese herb to promote the blood circulation, when to soak my leg with turmeric powder, when to practice walking with cane, when to get rid of the cane, etc. Dr. Cao's knowledge and experience gave me confidence and made the recovery process smoothly. Fast forward 10 month to present, now I can drive, shopping and walk my dog. I still do therapy once a week to loosen up the tight tendon. The pain is gone, and my gait is 100% normal. For people who prefer conservative therapy for bone or joint, I strongly recommend Dr. Cao for an assessment, he may save you a surgery.
