NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 137: Even Ronaldo himself can’t help!

In Jiang Ming's opinion,
Blockade injections are suitable for acute or chronic injuries or degenerative changes of muscles, ligaments, fascia, tendon sheaths, and synovium in various parts of the body.

Common ones include frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, Heel pain, tenosynovitis, lumbar muscle strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbar disc herniation, bursitis, etc.

Dad Jiang Yu also said that it is not only athletes who are quarantined, but also many office workers, who will only get quarantined when it is really urgent.

For example, a boss has an important bidding meeting tomorrow, and he has an acute back sprain on the first day and can't even get out of bed. This is a good time for him to get an injection to deal with the important matter at hand.

For example, a teacher or a student is going to give a speech the next day, but he or she cannot lift his or her arm due to frozen shoulder? Then he or she must get an injection.

And at this time, ibuprofen, plasters, and acupuncture are useless, and the only way is to inject a blockade, because the benefits are really great:

What are the benefits of "blocking injection"?

1. Fast effect: directly injected into the joint, it takes effect immediately and improves the symptoms of pain.

2. Concentrated dosage: If the drug is taken orally, it will be metabolized throughout the body and only a small part of it can reach the affected area, while the enclosed drug will almost completely act on the affected area.

but!

But this is why Jiang Yu also said that he rarely gives injections to athletes, and most of the time he gives them to big bosses and ordinary professionals for emergency use.

After all, they don’t do strenuous exercise after playing, and most of their injuries are not caused by strenuous exercise. Many of them are acute injuries or sudden movements after lack of exercise.

To put it bluntly, even if they have sequelae, they may not even know it, because this group of people do little exercise, so it doesn't matter how long the recovery period is after the fight, and generally there will be no side effects afterwards.

But athletes are different.

The disadvantages of “blocked injections” are basically related to athletes.

Fang Xiaotong and others are not quite clear about this, but having worked in the NBA for two years and encountered many such situations, he is very aware of the harm it causes to athletes.

He thinks there are mainly three points.

1. Exercising with an injury is very dangerous!
The injection can only temporarily relieve the pain, but it cannot completely cure the disease.

The inflammation subsides temporarily and the pain is temporarily suppressed, but the lesions are still there.

For athletes, although the training and competition progress is guaranteed, if they exercise with injuries, it is extremely easy to cause secondary injuries, which is not worth the loss!
If it is a World Cup final, there is nothing wrong with playing once, but in ordinary games, it is completely unnecessary to play with injuries and injections.

So if Dong Fangzhuo is 30 years old now and wants to work hard like this, OK, no problem.

However, Dong Fangzhuo has just started his overseas career, and he is already injured for a long time and is still unable to play. The short-term "pleasure" will cause his body to suffer more serious backlash later!
This is the second disadvantage.

2. Injection can hide the condition!
After the injection, the joint pain is gone and many people think it is cured.

People don't care so much about treatment and rest. Many diseases recur or even get worse because the injections hide the condition.

Many players can never return to their peak after taking the injection, like McGrady this year, who was no longer able to perform well right after the injection.

Therefore, the entire medical team of the NBA Rockets cannot completely eliminate the damage caused by the blocking needle, and Jiang Ming cannot do it either, because it is equivalent to anesthetic. The subsequent injury was caused by continued exercise. Jiang Ming can only get follow-up treatment, which is another matter.

Another disadvantage is the subsequent impact. For example, if someone frequently receives blocking injections, there will still be serious sequelae.

3. Hormones are very harmful!

Long-term hormone injection can cause centripetal obesity, body shape changes, hairy skin, and even beard growth in female patients. It can also lead to decreased immunity and slower wound healing.

It can also reduce gastrointestinal ulcers, induce hypertension, mental illness, osteoporosis, aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, etc.

Of course, this generally doesn’t happen now, because information spreads quickly and everyone knows the dangers. Athletes like Dong Fangzhuo naturally know the pros and cons.

But in the early years, blockade therapy went to an extreme. Many hospitals, especially grassroots hospitals, used "blockade" on patients at will, which resulted in many side effects. When the side effects first appeared in the news, people were overly worried about the possible side effects of blockade therapy, and many patients were very resistant to blockade injections.

With the development of modern medicine, "blocking needle" is neither a "universal needle" nor a "disaster". As long as it is used correctly, it can achieve its benefits and avoid harm and play its effective therapeutic role.

Although blockade therapy is effective in relieving pain, it cannot be used for a long time.

Doctors usually give one or several blocking injections depending on the condition of the patient, with an interval of 7 to 10 days or one month between each injection. Generally, continuous injections should not exceed 3 to 4 times.

If the pain symptoms still cannot be relieved after the treatment, it is necessary to find out the cause and treat it accordingly.

Blockade is an invasive treatment and therefore carries certain risks, such as infection, which is more common in patients with poor blood sugar control, poor resistance, renal insufficiency, and liver disease. Therefore, if the patient has the above conditions, blockade therapy should be used with extreme caution.

Dong Fangzhuo's last physical examination report was six months ago. Because he was the last one to join the national team, he did not have time to go for the physical examination of the National Olympic Team, so it would be very risky for him to play.

Jiang Ming and his parents both feel that it is particularly important to avoid closed treatments on the Achilles tendon and knee areas as much as possible. Drugs can cause certain damage to the Achilles tendon, which is one of the common causes of Achilles tendon rupture and permanent wear of the knee.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming sternly rejected Dong Fangzhuo:

"You know very well that you are surrounded by Brazil."

"Can you become Cristiano Ronaldo after the lockdown? I ask you!"

Dong Fangzhuo simply lowered his head. Jiang Ming's harsh rebuke left him speechless and he even felt a little inferior.

Yes, what’s the use of giving a closed injection?
Even if he wasn't injured, could he have broken through the Brazilian defense?

Even if Ronaldo himself comes, it won’t work!
Jiang Ming was also well aware of the NBA head coach's approach of giving a punch before giving a candy. When Dong Fangzhuo lowered his head and dared not look at him because of the scolding, he said:
"You are not Cristiano Ronaldo, but you still have room for improvement! Who knows what you will be like in 4 or 8 years?"

At this point Fang Xiaotong also let go of Jiang Ming's hand, and the agent also let out a long sigh and said:

"Yes, I listened to Director Jiang. Now that the injection has been completed, let alone four years later, the future is all in sight. We can only hone our skills."

"But if you don't fight, who knows how far you can go in the end! The possibilities are infinite!"

"Okay, no more fighting, physical therapy!"

Dong Fangzhuo had tears in his eyes. He was completely awakened and scolded.

Jiang Ming is indeed a top sports medicine expert. Although he didn't give Dong Fangzhuo a closed injection, his performance in the second half was also remarkable. When Brazil was leading 4:0, he accelerated outside the penalty area and shot the ball into the ground in the 86th minute, finally demonstrating the Chinese speed that he is best at!

4-1!

Dong Fangzhuo scored his second goal of this Olympics, which was also the second goal for the Chinese Olympic team.

The assist was still provided by Wang Chu!
Although the two overseas players only started training together during the Olympic cycle, they are completely different!!!
So even though the Chinese Olympic team was eliminated from the group stage after the game, it gave hope to the fans at the scene, to Zhuxie, and to all people in the circle.

Just like what Jiang Ming said to the media after the game:
"Isn't it the fact that in football, only by studying abroad can you achieve great success! Later, I will publish a paper analyzing from the perspective of sports medicine how Chinese athletes should choose to study abroad."

The football media were shocked:

"Okay, I look forward to Director Jiang's great work! Mr. Justice!!"

This is truly righteous. Originally, these media had more or less criticized Jiang Ming for asking for money for treatment for the national team, but this group of people later wrote papers and made suggestions.

If this is true, it would be a great favor to the Chinese national football team. This is a paper written by the NBA's top team medical team, it is absolutely awesome!

After 1 days.

What Jiang Ming didn't expect was that he also had to take a closed shot in the men's basketball team.
PS: In reality, Dong Fangzhuo received frequent injections of blocked drugs for the 08 Olympics, and he was never seen again.
