Question
What is osteomylitis? What are the symptoms? Can professional osteomylitis be prevented?
Answer
Osteomylitis is a degenerative bone membrane damage or infectious bone membrane damage caused by the expansion, congestion, swelling, or subperiosteal hemorrhage of the periosteum and its blood vessels, as well as the organization of blood clots, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes. Treatment can be administered internally with traditional Chinese medicine, using plasters that relax tendons and muscles, reduce swelling and alleviate pain, activate blood circulation and dissipate stasis, dispel wind and cold. These plasters have strong regional permeability, allowing the drug molecules to be absorbed through the skin into the blood circulation, directly reaching the affected area. They also transmit through the skin to meridians and tendons, stimulating the body’s regulatory function to promote functional recovery and achieve rapid healing. To prevent professional osteomylitis, adjustments can be made to the work environment, improvements to work habits, adequate rest and exercise, and other methods.
