Fracture and joint manipulation are techniques used to treat certain types of fractures and joint conditions. Fractures occur when a bone is broken or cracked, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as trauma, falls, or repetitive stress. Joint conditions, such as dislocations or subluxations, occur when the bones in a joint are not properly aligned.
Fracture and joint manipulation are typically performed by healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic surgeons or chiropractors. These techniques involve manually adjusting the bones and joints to restore proper alignment and mobility.
Fracture manipulation involves applying pressure and/or traction to the affected area to realign the broken bones. This technique is typically used for simple fractures that have not caused significant displacement of the bone fragments.
Joint manipulation involves applying controlled force to the affected joint to improve mobility and reduce pain. This technique is often used to treat conditions such as dislocations or subluxations.
While fracture and joint manipulation can be effective in certain cases, they can also be associated with risks such as further injury, nerve damage, or blood vessel damage. Therefore, these techniques should only be performed by trained and licensed healthcare professionals who have experience in performing them.
Other treatment options for fractures and joint conditions may include immobilization with a cast or splint, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity and location of the injury or condition. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for an individual's specific situation.
