"Let's get an X-ray first. Based on my experience, as long as there's no fracture, we should be able to realign it manually."
Zhou Can wrote a request for an examination and had the child's father take her for the test.
About an hour later, the girl returned from the examination.
Zhou Can studied the X-ray carefully and found that the patient had only a slight misalignment in the lumbar spine and a skewed spinous process, which caused her to experience severe pain in her lower back.
The lumbar spine consists of a series of intervertebral discs.
It has a certain degree of mobility.
It can bend to a certain extent and also twist within a certain range. Excessive force during movement, too much force, or old age can easily lead to misalignment.
In many cases, conservative treatment can be adopted, with bed rest and recuperation.
With a more skilled orthopedics doctor and under the right conditions, manual realignment can also be performed.
