Woman breaks bone after acupressure, joint cracking

However, "the doctor said it was okay" and scheduled Mrs. A. to continue treatment the next day. After the second treatment session, Mrs. A. was in more pain, could not walk, had difficulty breathing, and was tired. She was referred to the Musculoskeletal Correction Center, Hospital 1A.

On May 15, Dr. Calvin Q Trinh, Head of the Musculoskeletal Correction Center, Hospital 1A, said that when she came to see Ms. A, she was in so much pain that she could not sit up. Examination showed that Ms. A had pain in the right lumbar region near the spine, with sharp, stabbing pain in the last 11-12 ribs near the spine, and mild inflammation.

The doctor treated the patient with laser pain relief and local pain medication. After 15 minutes of treatment, the patient was able to sit up with less pain and sit in a wheelchair for a chest X-ray. The results showed that the patient had a fractured 12th rib and a costovertebral joint injury. The doctor prescribed medication and advised him to rest for 1 month and limit body movement so that the ribs could heal quickly. After healing, he proceeded to treat the lower back pain and herniated disc.

Dr. Calvin Q Trinh said that chiropractic adjustment is a popular technique today, but it has been pushed to the extreme. More than half of chiropractic patients will not make "cracking" sounds or have exaggerated reactions like the clips on TikTok.
