Do not trust Tuina orthodontics

Wang Pengzuo (Xinhua News Agency)

Bare hands orthopedics can slim the face, increase height, cure cervical spondylosis... Nowadays, some beauty salons, foot shops, massage houses, etc. have launched orthopedic projects, and played attractive advertisements such as "no injection, no surgery" to increase the appearance value, "one break to solve a thousand worries" and so on. Orthopedics is a means of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which requires the operation of licensed professional doctors to play a therapeutic effect, but many practitioners of beauty salons and massage halls do not have the corresponding professional capabilities, and some only participate in short-term training. Such improper orthodontics can easily bring damage to the health of consumers. For consumers, they should understand that orthopedics are medical means, not beauty items, and should not blindly believe in false propaganda. If necessary, consumers should choose formal institutional treatment. At the same time, the regulatory authorities should promptly rectify the relevant market chaos and set up unified standards for them, so that consumers can enjoy reassuring and formal orthopedic services.
