Dr. Lin Yunfei
Manual bone setting (orthopedic manipulation) is effective for cervical and lumbar spine disorders. This technique primarily corrects misalignments of the small facet joints in the cervical and lumbar spine through manual manipulation, effectively restoring physiological curvature, realigning the facet joints, and reducing pressure on intervertebral discs. It offers significant therapeutic benefits for both cervical and lumbar spinal conditions. However, prior to undergoing manipulation, comprehensive cervical spine imaging data must be obtained, and the procedure should be performed under the guidance of an experienced physician.
