Chauffeur Fracture - #18036
A few weeks ago, I fell while riding my bike and landed hard on my wrist. At first, I thought it was just a sprain, but when the pain didn’t improve after a few days, I went for an X-ray. The doctor told me I had a chauffeur fracture, which is a type of wrist fracture that affects the radial bone near the thumb. They recommended wearing a cast for a few weeks and taking painkillers, but I am wondering if Ayurveda offers any treatments that can help speed up the healing process. I have always been interested in natural remedies, and I know that Ayurveda has a deep understanding of bone health. I read that certain herbs and oils can strengthen bones and promote healing. For example, I have heard that Dhanwantharam oil and Mahanarayan oil are often used for joint and bone-related problems. Would applying these oils on my wrist help my chauffeur fracture heal faster? Also, should I make any changes to my diet? I know calcium is important for bones, but are there any specific foods or Ayurvedic formulations that I should include in my diet to support bone healing? Would herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, or Hadjod (Cissus quadrangularis) help in the recovery process? Another concern I have is long-term stiffness or weakness after the chauffeur fracture heals. Since I use my hands a lot for work, I don’t want to lose flexibility in my wrist. Are there any Ayurvedic therapies or massages that can help restore mobility once the cast is removed? Should I be doing any specific exercises or yoga poses to strengthen my wrist without putting too much strain on it? Doctor, what is the best Ayurvedic way to recover from a chauffeur fracture? Are there herbal remedies, oils, or dietary changes that can help strengthen the bones and prevent future fractures? Also, are there any Ayurvedic treatments that can help reduce post-healing stiffness and restore full mobility in my wrist? I want to ensure that my wrist heals properly and that I don’t develop long-term complications like pain or reduced strength. I would really appreciate your guidance on Ayurvedic approaches for chauffeur fracture recovery.
