Treatment of ORTHO in
The orthopedic program at Yuncheng People's Hospital combines diagnostics and rehabilitation for deformities of the feet, knees, spine, and hip joint in children, built on a combination of physical therapy, Tuina massage, and traditional Chinese medicine methods.
What is Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions?
The orthopedic program at Yuncheng People's Hospital works with a wide range of musculoskeletal deformities in children: from flatfoot and foot and knee deformities to posture disorders and spinal curvatures (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, kyphoscoliosis), as well as hip dysplasia.
Rehabilitation combines physical therapy, TCM Tuina massage, acupuncture (including spine and back acupuncture for scoliosis and posture disorders), heated herbal bag treatment, and pharmacopuncture — the specific combination of methods is chosen individually depending on the type and severity of the deformity.
What parents should know
More specific conditions — congenital clubfoot and equinus ("horse") foot — are treated by the clinic as their own dedicated rehabilitation programs, using the Ponseti casting method and specialized physiotherapy.
Required examinations
For the in-person consultation, it helps to bring results of prior examinations (X-rays, joint imaging, orthopedist's reports), if available.
