Old Man Mountain Cheng's Bone Injury Therapy
The Cheng family bone injury therapy at Lao Ren Shan in Jintan is a famous family of traditional Chinese medicine bone injury therapy in Jiangsu, with a history of more than 130 years. The Cheng family has practiced martial arts for generations, and often injured their bones and muscles during martial arts practice. Because medicine was not well developed at that time, the Cheng family ancestors found various herbs to treat injuries and slowly explored a set of effective bone injury treatments. After that, the Cheng family opened a clinic specializing in treating bone injuries. In the early years, after the Cheng family settled in Li Ta Village, Lao Ren Shan, they picked herbs locally to treat diseases and save lives. Later, due to the increase in the number of people seeking treatment for bone injuries and the limited herbs in the mountains, they began to grow some herbs themselves. Li Ta Village, Lao Ren Shan is located at the junction of Jintan, Jurong and Liyang counties. Due to the significant efficacy of Cheng's ancestral bone injury medicine, people from far and near come here for treatment for injuries. In the old days, thirty or forty people came for treatment every day, and the more than 30 beds in the medical center were full of patients. In addition to Li Ta Village, the nearby Xuebu Town has also become a medical center for the ancestral bone injuries of the Cheng family in Lao Ren Shan. Cheng Gongming, the third generation of the Cheng family, worked in the old pharmacy in Xuebu Town in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1986, a branch of Cheng Xiande moved from Lita Village to Xuebu Town to open the Laorenshan Orthopedics Department. In 1998, Cheng Shilin, the sixth generation of the Cheng family, opened the Laorenshan Orthopedics Specialty Clinic in Jintan City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, seeing dozens of patients every day, and enjoying a high reputation in Jintan and surrounding areas. The ancestral bone injury therapy of the Cheng family in Laorenshan uses eight bone-setting techniques of touching, kneading, connecting, lifting, pushing, holding, pressing, and rubbing, combined with acupuncture, ironing, compressing, Chinese herbal medicine and other Chinese medicine injury treatment methods, mainly using the external prescription "Huoxue Bonesetting Paste" and the internal medicine "Xingyu Shuzhi Decoction" and "Fuyuan Huoxue Decoction" to treat fractures, joints and soft tissue injuries. It has the characteristics of fast healing, good functional recovery, less pain for patients, and low medical expenses. For fresh and old fractures, they use methods such as manual bone setting, splint fixation, and external application of Chinese medicine. They can also use traditional surgery to successfully treat various types of comminuted fractures and open fractures. The ancestral bone injury treatment methods of the Cheng family in Laorenshan mainly include the external medicine Huoxue Bonesetting Paste and the internal prescriptions Xingyu Shuzhi Decoction, Zhuanggu Qiangjin Decoction, Dingtong Heying Decoction, Qufeng Sanyu Decoction, and Fuyuan Huoxue Decoction. Its treatment methods have definite and stable effects on fractures, joints, and soft tissue injuries, and the cost is relatively low. In order to apply the ancestral bone injury treatment methods of the Cheng family to various parts of Jintan and facilitate the medical treatment of patients from far and near, in 1999, Cheng Shilin, the sixth-generation descendant of the Cheng family, joined hands with Jintan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to open the Laorenshan Cheng family bone injury specialist clinic, which receives dozens to hundreds of cases every day. In July 2016, the Laorenshan Cheng family bone injury specialist clinic was separated from Jintan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to establish an independent Laorenshan Orthopedic Hospital.
