Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 98: Worse than a basketball team
The cold therapy cabin is erected, and the whole person will stand inside and receive liquid nitrogen treatment.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry to introduce it to Carter and asked Nojima Yushi if he could turn on the phone and give it a try.

"Of course, the equipment has been debugged." Nojima Yushi said hurriedly.

Chen Yu didn't waste any time and turned around to call a player.

Soon, Clifford Robinson arrived.

Seeing the equipment in front of him, he was a little frightened: "Chen, otherwise I'd better make an ice bucket."

I heard that it releases liquid nitrogen directly, so this thing must not freeze people to death.

Chen Yu knew what he was worried about and said, "Don't worry, it's very safe, and I'm not still here."

Nojima Yushi sent many treatment cases, and Chen Yu only ordered it after repeatedly confirming its safety.

As he spoke, Chen Yu's all-seeing eyes swept across Robinson's body.

The training is coming to an end. With the help of the all-seeing eye, it can be clearly seen that Robinson has accumulated lactic acid in his body, and there are also very slight injuries to the muscles in many places.

These injuries are subtle and result from high-intensity exercise.

Normally, with the body's self-healing ability, it can be fully recovered by rest.

Now, with the help of this ultra-low temperature cold therapy chamber, the situation can be quickly relieved.

The technician stepped forward and opened the hatch.

This one is specially customized because NBA players are generally two-meter giants.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Robinson was heartbroken, gritted his teeth, took off only his underwear, and got into the cold therapy cabin.

"Is everything okay?" He looked at Chen Yu again.

Chen Yu nodded and directly signaled the technician to start the equipment.

The indicator light lights up and liquid nitrogen begins to evaporate.

Robinson, with only one head exposed, shuddered instantly and screamed out cold.

Chen Yu ignored him.

Isn't it colder to soak in an ice bucket? It's the same thing.

"Minus 100 degrees?" Carter next to him exclaimed, and the temperature continued to drop, finally stopping at minus 160 degrees.

"It's liquid nitrogen!"

Looking at the rising white smoke, Carter instantly guessed the technical principle.

In the medical field, there are examples of using liquid nitrogen to create low-temperature conditions for treatment.

But for training?

"Chen, you are doing this to reduce the inflammation after exercise and relax the muscles." Carter is indeed a top medical expert. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed why Chen Yu did this.

Just guessing it, Carter couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

"You are so awesome. You are just playing ball, and you are more professional than us at NASA."

With anti-gravity treadmills, sensor data monitoring body conditions, and this ultra-low temperature treatment chamber, NASA has never trained astronauts to this extent.

At this moment, Carter felt that today was the right day.

I learned this.

After hearing about NASA, Nojima Yushi, who had been standing respectfully, his eyes lit up and he took the initiative to come closer.

"We can find out." Carter did not refuse.

However, given NASA's technical level, now that we know the principle, it should be easy to copy one, or even do a better job.

Although there was no direct contact with liquid nitrogen in the cold therapy cabin, the ultra-low temperature of minus 160 degrees still made Robinson grinning from the cold.

Chen Yu stared at him intently, observing his physical condition.

Although the temperature is low, the gas formed by the volatilization of liquid nitrogen is dry, and the thermal conductivity of the gas is very low, so the body will feel very cold, but in a short period of time, it will not cause frostbite like direct contact with liquid nitrogen. .

Soon, 1 minute.

The technician came forward and prepared to turn off the equipment.

This kind of treatment cannot last long. After all, the temperature is too low. As for how long it should be used, from the data they collected, 1 minute is enough.

Any longer, and unpredictable consequences may occur, such as frostbite, hypothermia, etc.

But just as he was about to close, he was stopped by Chen Yu.

"Wait a second."

The bodies of professional athletes are completely different from those of ordinary people, and the intensity of training is far beyond that of ordinary people.

One minute may be useful for ordinary people, but it is not enough for athletes.

After waiting for more than a minute, Chen Yu signaled to turn off the equipment.

I have a rough idea in my mind. Two to three minutes should be a suitable range.

This is my first time using this thing. If I don’t have an all-seeing eye, I really need to explore it for a while.

The cabin door opened, and Robinson came out shivering, jumping on the spot from the cold.

His body warmed up quickly, and the blood that had returned to his core organs quickly brought the heat back to his muscles. In just this time, most of the lactic acid, ammonia and other substances accumulated in the muscles had been removed.

And that’s what this cold therapy is all about.

Chen Yu threw the blanket to Robinson and asked him how he felt.

"How else can it feel? It's cold. It's much colder than soaking in an ice bucket." Robinson felt like he was naked and thrown into the ice and snow of the North Pole.

Chen Yu said dumbfounded: "I'm talking about how the body feels, whether the muscle soreness, fatigue, etc. have been relieved."

"This one."

Robinson felt it carefully and said unexpectedly: "Don't tell me, it's really much better."

After training, you may experience backache or back pain, which are all basic and must be taken a good rest to relieve.

Now, that feeling has almost disappeared.

Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent were worth it.

The most important thing is to save trouble.

Preparing an ice bucket that can fit these guys is no easy task.

After jumping around for a while, Robinson felt much better. While getting dressed, he said, "But Chen, I still think acupuncture will be more effective if you give us a massage."

Using this cold therapy cabin is effective, but the cold is really cold and painful.Unlike Chen Yu who gave everyone a massage, it was really comfortable from head to toe. It was not torture, but enjoyment.

Chen Yuxin said nonsense, I have a massage system and a technical bonus, so it can be the same.

Carter, who was watching silently, noticed Robinson's words and said unexpectedly: "Chen, do you still know acupuncture?"

Even a layman like Nojima Yushi looked over in surprise. How could Chen Yu, an orthopedic expert and Western medicine doctor, still know about traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

"Thomas, do you know acupuncture?" Chen Yu was still surprised.

Of all the doctors he knew, Wash was the only one who knew about acupuncture.

But I also have a little knowledge and only scratch the surface.

Carter nodded: "Of course, don't you remember what happened to the reporter in 71, James Reston?"

71 years?
Chen Yuxin said nonsense. In 71, he seemed to be only 2 years old.

Carter explained: "Reston was the vice president of the New York Daily News. That year, the president went to China for a visit, and he went with him. Then he suffered from appendicitis and had the surgery in China."

"After the operation, he developed Hattori flatulence. At that time, the Chinese doctor used acupuncture therapy on him, which quickly relieved his flatulence. He thought this was incredible. After returning to China, he wrote a special report saying this This matter was discussed by many people in the medical field at that time.”

"By the way, he also said in the report that the Chinese doctor used something like a cigar and lit it to smoke his abdomen. Do you know what that was?"

Chen Yu nodded, nonsense, of course he knows, isn't this just moxibustion?

"What happens after that?" Chen Yu asked.

Carter shrugged: "There is no future, because no one understands this treatment method at all, and using needles to prick people's bodies always feels a bit unreliable."

But when he said this, he seemed to remember something, and said: "I remember that two years ago, NIH seemed to have established a complementary and alternative medicine research center. Acupuncture was listed as a complementary medicine treatment method, and there was also a national clinical center , it seems there is an acupuncture department.”

Chen Yu only came into contact with acupuncture after getting the system last year. He really doesn’t know much about the history and development of acupuncture in the United States.

According to Carter, the U.S. official has actually recognized acupuncture treatment.

NIH, that is the National Institutes of Health.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Actually, acupuncture is quite reliable."

With that said, Chen Yu's eyes fell on Carter and said, "Thomas, do you have constipation problem?"

The all-seeing eye saw that his colon was almost full.

"How do you know?" Carter was stunned.

He sits in the office too much and suffers from constipation.

The key is how Chen Yu saw it, and there was no examination.

Chen Yu did not explain, but said directly: "I have some methods that can relieve your constipation using acupuncture. Do you want to try it?"

Carter nodded hurriedly, he thought too much.

The steel needles in the physical therapy room are all ready. Chen Yu asked Carter to sit down and began to take out the needles and disinfect them.

The old method of acupuncture is to use the Dachangshu and Tianshu points, and finally the Zhigou point on the hand.

Carter watched intently, as if he was very curious about the fact that such a long needle penetrated into the skin with almost no bleeding and no pain.

In particular, he couldn't figure out why he was pricking his hand with acupuncture when it was obviously an intestinal problem.

Just as he was about to ask why, as Chen Yu twisted the silver needle, he suddenly felt something in his abdomen, which became stronger and stronger. As Chen Yu took out the needle, this feeling reached its peak.

"Chen, it's very useful."

Carter stood up quickly, gave a thumbs up in a hurry, didn't bother to say a few more words, and went straight to the bathroom.

This scene made Carter's assistant dumbfounded and his eyes widened.

Just a few injections and it will relieve constipation?
Also amazing.

There were also Nojima Yushi and others who were watching the excitement, and they were obviously very shocked.

"Dr. Chen, you are really amazing."

Nojima Yushi complimented him, but he knew that Chen Yu was of Chinese descent and could understand it if he knew acupuncture.

Robinson was not surprised, so he sat down and pointed at his shoulder, asking Chen Yu to give him two injections.

"This guy Chris just hit me and it hurt me to death."

As a matter of course, Chen Yu started to give the injection directly.

After being pricked and released, Carter returned, feeling comfortable, and gave a thumbs up again: "Chen, you really should write a book to introduce this miraculous treatment method."

As he said that, he noticed Chen Yu giving Robinson acupuncture and immediately came over.

Chen Yuxin said: How do you know that I am not writing, and whether I have been writing well or not.

Who would dislike publishing a book and becoming famous?

I'm just too busy with work and don't have much time.

Seeing that Carter was interested and came over empty-handed, Chen Yu took the initiative to introduce the principles of acupuncture to him.

"In general, for acute injuries, I still recommend common pain relief or surgery. However, if it is a chronic injury, I think acupuncture will be more effective. It mainly activates the body's immune system, such as the blood circulation system. The body’s metabolic capacity, thereby improving its self-healing ability and assisting in treatment.”

Acupuncture is used more and more, and Chen Yu's understanding of it becomes more and more profound.

The level of knowledge about sports rehabilitation has increased by several percentage points.

With acupuncture, it is impossible to say that the lesions can be solved immediately after the operation, like surgery, but it can activate and strengthen the body's own self-healing ability to achieve the ultimate healing effect.

After all, many diseases, to put it bluntly, rely on the body’s self-healing ability.

Carter couldn't help but nod. At some point, he even took out a small voice recorder and silently recorded what Chen Yu said.

"Chen, I feel that your medical concepts are very novel and useful, especially in terms of training and rehabilitation. You have many unique insights. If possible, can I stay and learn more from you."

Originally, during this meeting to examine Hardaway Hill's recovery status, Carter was prepared to return to Washington.

But now, Carter suddenly discovered that Chen Yu had many things worth learning.

Especially recovery.

He is a member of NASA's medical team, and his original responsibility is to ensure the health of astronauts.

Astronauts also get injured, and treatment and rehabilitation after injury is their main job.

And training.

You don't know this. At first glance, Carter was surprised to find that many of their training and recovery concepts were not as good as a basketball team.
