THE MENACE OF TRADITIONAL BONE SETTERS IN OUR SOCIETY.

Traditional bone setters popularly known as TBS are individuals who are recognised by their communities as competent enough to provide treatment for Musculoskeletal injuries ranging from minor to major fractures by the use of herbs,animals and some other substance.
They are mostly not educated or barely educated,they rely solely on inherited knowledge and personal intuition to carry out their activities. Without the use any radiograph,they make use of bamboo sticks,canes,palm leaves,cotton, thread or rags to splint dislocations or fractures.
Irrespective of people's exposure and education,a very large number of the population still patronise the services of this TBS. The activities of these people have led to various degrees of limb loss upon presentation to an orthodox health facilities.

Few simple steps and food to prevent or slow bone loss. For example:

Include plenty of calcium in your diet. For adults ages 19 to 50 and men ages 51 to 70, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium a day. The recommendation increases to 1,200 mg a day for women age 51 and older and for men age 71 and older.
Good sources of calcium include dairy products, almonds, broccoli, kale, canned salmon with bones, sardines and soy products, such as tofu. If you find it difficult to get enough calcium from your diet,Pay attention to vitamin D. Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. For adults ages 19 to 70, the RDA of vitamin D is 600 international units (IUs) a day. The recommendation increases to 800 IUs a day for adults age 71 and older.
Good sources of vitamin D include oily fish, such as salmon, trout, whitefish and tuna. Additionally, mushrooms, eggs and fortified foods, such as milk and cereals, are good sources of vitamin D. Sunlight also contributes to the body's production of vitamin D.Include physical activity in your daily routine. Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, jogging, and climbing stairs, can help you build strong bones and slow bone loss.Avoid substance abuse.
