跌扑损伤,虽用手法调治,恐未尽得其宜,以致有治如未治之苦,则未可云医理之周详
也。爰因身体上下正侧之象,制器以正之,用辅手法之所不逮,以冀分者复合,欹者复正,高者
就其平,陷者升其位,则危证可转于安,重伤可就于轻。再施以药饵之功,更示以调养之善
,则正骨之道全矣。
攀索者,以绳挂于高处,用手攀之也。
叠砖者,以砖六块分左右,各叠置三块,两足踏于其上也。
用法详于第十五则内。
腰柱者,以杉木四根,制如扁担形,宽一寸浓五分,长短以患处为度,俱自侧面钻孔,
以绳联贯之。
凡腰间闪挫结气者,以常法治之。若腰节骨被伤错笋,膂肉破裂,筋斜佝偻者,用醋调
定痛散,敷于腰柱上。视患处,将柱排列于脊柱两旁,务令端正。再用蕲艾做成薄褥,覆于柱上
,以御风寒。用宽长布带绕向腹前,紧紧扎裹。内服药饵调治,自愈。
木板者,用极薄之杉木板。如有糕匣木板者,更妙。用法,先以白布条缠于伤处,至二
三重后,将板四围覆上,又将布缠之,外再用杉篱裹于外也。
其用详于第十六则内。
杉篱者,复逼之器也。量患处之长短阔狭,曲直凸凹之形,以杉木为之。酌其根数,记
清次序,不得紊乱。然后于每根两头各钻一孔,以绳联贯之,有似于篱,故名焉。裹于杉板之外
,取其坚劲,不致断骨之走动耳。
跌打损伤,虽然使用手法进行治疗,但恐怕未能完全得当,从而导致出现“治疗如同未治疗”的痛苦,这就不能说是医理周全了。因此,根据人体上下、正侧的形态特征,制作器具来矫正伤势,以辅助手法所不及之处,期望使分离的骨骼重新合拢,歪斜的身体恢复端正,高突的部位变得平整,凹陷的部位恢复原位,那么危重的证候可以转为平安,重伤可以减轻为轻伤。再施以药物的功效,并指导良好的调养方法,那么正骨的方法就完备了。
攀索法,是将绳子悬挂在高处,用手攀拉的方法。
叠砖法,是用六块砖分为左右两列,每列各叠放三块,双脚踩踏在其上的方法。
具体用法详见第十五条规则内。
腰柱,是用四根杉木制成,形状像扁担一样,宽一寸,厚五分,长短根据患处决定,都在侧面钻孔,用绳子连接贯穿起来。
凡是腰部闪挫导致气机郁结的,用常规方法治疗。如果是腰椎关节受伤错位,肌肉破裂,筋脉歪斜弯曲的,用醋调和定痛散,敷在腰柱上。观察患处,将腰柱排列在脊柱两旁,务必使其端正。再用蕲艾做成薄褥,覆盖在腰柱上,用来抵御风寒。用宽长的布带绕向腹前,紧紧包扎固定。内服药物调理治疗,自然痊愈。
木板,使用极薄的杉木板。如果有类似糕点盒子的木板更好。用法是,先用白布条缠绕在伤处,缠到二三层后,将木板从四周覆盖上去,再将布条缠绕固定,外面再用杉篱包裹在外面。
具体用法详见第十六条规则内。
杉篱,是一种加固压迫的器具。测量患处的长短阔狭、曲直凸凹的形状,用杉木制作。斟酌其使用的根数,记清次序,不得混乱。然后在每一根的两头各钻一个孔,用绳子连接贯穿,形状类似于篱笆,所以得名。包裹在杉板的外面,是为了取其坚固强劲,防止断骨移动。
Traumatic injuries, although treated with manual manipulation, may not be handled optimally, leading to the suffering of "treatment being as if no treatment had occurred." In such cases, one cannot claim that the medical principles are comprehensive. Therefore, based on the anatomical features of the upper and lower body, as well as the anterior-posterior and lateral aspects, instruments are fabricated to correct deformities. These instruments assist where manual techniques fall short, aiming to reunite separated bones, straighten distorted bodies, level protrusions, and elevate depressions. Consequently, critical conditions can be stabilized, and severe injuries can be mitigated. Furthermore, by applying medicinal efficacy and providing guidance on proper convalescence, the art of bone-setting becomes complete.
The Rope-Pulling Method involves suspending a rope from a high place and pulling it with the hands for traction.
The Brick-Stacking Method involves arranging six bricks into two columns (left and right), stacking three bricks in each column, and stepping on them with both feet.
Detailed usage is described in Rule 15.
The Lumbar Support consists of four pieces of Chinese fir wood, shaped like a carrying pole, one inch wide and half an inch thick. The length is determined by the affected area. Holes are drilled on the sides of each piece, which are then connected and threaded through with ropes.
For lumbar sprains or strains resulting in qi stagnation, standard treatments are applied. However, if there is dislocation of the lumbar vertebrae, rupture of the paraspinal muscles, or deviation and curvature of the tendons, Ding Tong San (Pain-Stopping Powder) mixed with vinegar is applied onto the Lumbar Support. Observing the injury site, the supports are arranged alongside the spinal column, ensuring they are perfectly aligned. A thin mattress made from Qi Ai (Artemisia argyi) is then placed over the supports to protect against wind and cold. A wide, long cloth belt is wrapped around the abdomen and tightly secured. Internal medication is administered for regulation, leading to natural recovery.
The Wooden Board utilizes extremely thin sheets of Chinese fir. Sheets similar to those used for pastry boxes are ideal. The method involves first wrapping the injured area with white cloth strips for two to three layers. Then, the board is placed over the surrounding area, wrapped again with cloth, and finally covered externally with a Shan Li (Fir Splint).
Detailed usage is described in Rule 16.
The Shan Li (Fir Splint) is a device used for compression and stabilization. It is crafted from Chinese fir according to the dimensions (length, width) and contours (curved, straight, convex, concave) of the injury site. The number of splint pieces is carefully considered, and their order is clearly recorded to avoid confusion. A hole is drilled at both ends of each piece, which are then linked together with ropes, resembling a fence, hence the name. It is wrapped around the exterior of the wooden board to provide firm support and prevent displacement of fractured bones.
