Fracture Healing

Most of the simple back pain can improve with self-care and OTC medication while acute or chronic pain that lasts longer requires more specific treatment. Depending upon a patient’s condition we offer various pain management techniques and treatment:

Non-invasive, non-drug pain management

  • Exercise: Physical activities such as cardio, yoga, tai chi helps in strengthening the muscles, flexibility, and restoring normal motion. A doctor will design a patient-centric exercise plan to help them recover quickly.
  • Manual Techniques: Such as massaging the joints, muscles, and ligaments to relieve muscle tension and improve pain.
  • Behavioural Modification: To optimise a patient’s response towards back pain and painful stimuli some techniques are used to reduce the pain.

Skin traction involves attachment of traction tapes to the skin of the limb segment below the fracture. In skeletal traction, a pin is inserted through the bone distal to the fracture. Weights will be applied to this pin, and the patient is placed in an apparatus that facilitates traction. This method is most commonly used for fractures of the thighbone.
