Chapter 807 Ice and Heat
Updated: 2013-06-06
Chen Yingjie welcomed Yao Ming's arrival very much. He received Yao Ming and his party without caring about the fatigue of the journey. He was a clinic in his own right, and he was a master, which looked particularly believing, especially Yao Ming's father.
Yao Ming's reputation in the Chinese circle in the United States is much more prominent than Stephen, because he is a genuine domestic brand and in the industry, he is called a professional. Chen Yingjie started the examination first when he came up, gently pinched the model, and then took Yao Ming's medical record and looked carefully, and said to Yao Ming with a cautious expression.
"You have problems with both feet, not just the injured one." Take Yao Ming's foot x-ray and point to the position of the foot arch and said to Yao Ming: "For normal people, this should be a bow-shaped shape, but the bend of your bow here is obviously not enough, and it cannot form strong support at both ends. The structure itself is not solid, but you are not a flat foot. If you are an ordinary person, there may be no problem. However, you are a basketball player and your feet are under too much pressure, so your feet are easily injured. This is inevitable."
"We all know this situation, but how should he treat his injury?" Yao Ming's father asked anxiously. Professor Amirk had pointed out these problems on Yao Ming's feet, but there was no solution. Now the most important thing is the injuries on his feet.
"Did the bone cracks formed have begun to heal, but they suddenly deteriorate?" Chen Yingjie picked up the foot injury film and watched carefully. He had heard Stephen say about Yao Ming's injury, but he still wanted to learn more about his feelings.
"Yes, it has started to shrink, but now it has suddenly become longer."
"Then during this period of injury, have you been recuperating or training again? Is the amount of exercise large? " Chen Yingjie picked up Yao Ming's huge foot again, looked left and right, as if he was admiring something beautiful, and he looked very interested.
"I started training again. At the beginning, I only practiced some basic training, and in a gravity-free environment, and later I started shooting, but I was training in a wheelchair." Yao Ming had no choice but to answer.
"This deterioration factor is not the main cause. I'll ask you now, are you always using ice-based treatment?"
"Yes, ice compresses are very effective. I have been using ice compresses before." Yao Ming looked at Stephen and felt that this question should not be asked. Ice compress is a very common treatment method. Not to mention injury, even if there is a bumpy bump, you should apply ice compresses.
After hearing this, Chen Yingjie laughed and waved his hand and said, "I am not against ice application. There are also ice application treatments in traditional Chinese medicine, but the effect of ice application is mainly to reduce cooling and dissipate heat, stop bleeding and relieve pain, and eliminate swelling. It has nothing to do with your injury, but it weakens your own ability to heal."
"In fact, ice compress is mainly used to relieve pain, and it also eliminates swelling. It has a certain effect on bleeding injuries, but it is not the best treatment method. Blood congestion is also a type of bleeding, but for injuries on muscles and bones, ice compress does not have any good effect."
After looking at everyone, Chen Yingjie continued: "The main function of ice compress is to slow down the deterioration rate. It is an opponent for emergency treatment, because before there is no better treatment, use ice compress to prevent him from continuing to worsen and waiting for the treatment time to come. However, you cannot always use ice compress. It can slow down the deterioration, slow down self-healing and reduce cell activity. Especially for bone injuries, ice compress is not called treatment, but has a bad effect."
"Because the healing of bones mainly depends on their own healing ability, especially for young people like you, only the bones are not misaligned and will not allow them to continue to deteriorate. Calcium supplementation is timely, and even without any treatment methods, it will slowly heal itself. After healing, the injured area will be stronger, but ice compress slows down its own self-healing effect. In addition, your exercise involves the wound, so the healing speed is not as good as the deterioration speed, so it will naturally not be better."
Yao Ming and his father looked at each other and sounded quite reasonable, but it was completely different from Thomas Cranton's statement.
"Is it completely opposite to what your doctor said? It's not surprising. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine themselves are completely opposite in many places. Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to itself, Western medicine pays more attention to external objects. Western medicine needs direct treatment effects, while traditional Chinese medicine needs to fundamentally solve the problem. Of course, traditional Chinese medicine is not omnipotent. Due to the backward theory and diagnosis and treatment methods, it is normal for the judgment of the disease to be less accurate than Western medicine."
"Then Mr. Chen, see how to treat his injury." Yao Ming's father did not believe in traditional Chinese medicine very much, and Yao Ming would not believe it very much. However, Chen Yingjie did not blindly belittle Western medicine and elevate traditional Chinese medicine, but increased the credibility of his words. Moreover, with Stephen's relationship, they did not need to worry that the other party was lying to themselves.
"It depends on what kind of treatment effect you are preparing to achieve? If you want to restore your mobility as soon as possible, you can undergo surgery or use some drugs to stimulate its recovery. However, this treatment method can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. In the future, it will become a weak point. If you are hit or trampled, you will be injured again. Of course, this is not absolute, but if you choose to undergo surgery, it is best to reduce the risk of being injured again." Chen Yingjie looked at things very thoroughly. When he saw the performance of Yao Ming and his father, he knew that they did not completely believe in themselves, but came with the intention of trying it out.
But this is also very normal. Since I came to the United States, I have been curing my illness with this kind of suspicious eyes.
"So what is the best treatment method?" Chen Yingjie's words gave Yao Ming and his father a little hope. Is there any other treatment method?
"The best treatment is to make it heal itself. Of course, it also needs to be supplemented with some drugs. But please rest assured that these drugs are mild and will not be detected by urine." Due to the need for anti-stimulant, athletes need to frequently undergo urine sample testing to test whether there are stimulants in the body. Therefore, athletes need to be very careful about the food and treatment drugs that are inlet, so some tested objects are unintentionally entering the body. However, Chen Yingjie is very experienced in this. He knows what kind of drugs can be used and what kind of drugs cannot be used.
"How long does it take for this self-healing? And what if self-healing is ineffective?" In fact, this is the conservative therapy recommended by Amirk, but Amirk does not reject ice compress, but Chen Yingjie does not recommend ice compress. Yao Ming naturally attaches great importance to when it will be cured, because he has missed many games due to injury. He really hates the feeling of being able to sit on the sidelines.
"It cannot be without effect unless you have other problems in your body, but I think there is no problem. The specific time is determined based on your physical condition, but it will not exceed three months at most, because your injury has been happening for a long time, and if you don't have ice compress, there will be no problem." Chen Yingjie can guarantee that a professional athlete will definitely have no major problems in his body. According to his examination, Yao Ming's body does not seem to have any problems, so the reason why he cannot heal himself is ice compress.
"Does you need a hot compress?" Yao Ming's father glanced at Yao Ming. He suggested to Yao Ming a while ago, but Yao Ming refused. Now he wants to find support from Chen Yingjie.
"No, don't have hot compresses. Although this can promote healing, it will be a healing that is not firm. Just use warm water ten degrees Celsius higher than the body temperature. Add some medicines I prescribe for you. You can soak for a few days and it will definitely not continue to deteriorate."
