Chapter 427: Chapter 209: Immediate Results, Renovation Completed 2

"Raise your hands."

The female patient obliged.

"Alright!"

As the patient lowered her hands, a look of pain crossed her face.

It seemed her shoulder joint wasn’t restricted at all.

"You’ve got a soft tissue injury that’s turned into lesions. Since it’s been a while, you’ll need to come for treatment about five or six times. The therapy mainly involves manual massage accompanied by some injury-related medications."

After identifying the patient’s issue, Li Jingsheng provided a treatment plan.

"So many times? My daughter is quite busy; she barely managed to spare time to bring me for this visit."

"Five or six visits might be necessary, with the first two requiring treatment every two days and then every three days for the last few sessions. You can arrange the timing yourselves. You’re not that old; walking is no problem, and you can come by yourself! You actually don’t need your daughter to accompany you."

Li Jingsheng had seen many parents revert to childlike dependency on their children as they aged.

They raised us when we were young, we take care of them as they grow old.

This has always been a fine virtue and tradition in our country.

"Alright, Xiaodunzi, accompany me if you have the time. If not, forget it."

The female patient agreed.

She was finally pleased to have found a hospital that agreed to treat her and diagnosed her condition.

Xiaodunzi was likely her daughter’s nickname.

It was evident the daughter was somewhat embarrassed to be called by this nickname publicly.

"Mom, from now on let’s call me Ye Jun, your daughter. You can use my nickname at home!" The daughter blushed and softly reminded her mother.

She was in her thirties, and with her outstanding demeanor, she must have held a significant position at her company or workplace.

It must be quite embarrassing to be called Xiaodunzi in front of others!

"Oh, why can’t I call you that? Xiaodunzi is the nickname I gave you from childhood. Back then, you were only this tall, short and chubby, everyone said you looked like a stump. So, I gave you the nickname Xiaodunzi."

The female patient had no regard for her daughter’s feelings.

Perhaps she didn’t see the issue.

The daughter was so mortified, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

The two doctors and nurse in the clinic were all watching.

A slight smile appeared on Li Jingsheng’s face.

"It’s really not a big deal. When I was young, my parents even nicknamed me Ergouzi!"

He used this way to ease the embarrassment for the daughter.

"Haha, then I’m a bit better than you." The woman smiled, a hint of gratitude in her eyes towards Li Jingsheng.

A little kindness, perceptible to anyone slightly smart.

Since the patient agreed to the treatment, Li Jingsheng didn’t waste time, inviting the patient to make the payment and starting the treatment.

Payment was made by the daughter using her mobile phone.

Mobile payment has become widespread and really quite convenient.

"Please sit upright."

Once the patient was seated, Li Jingsheng positioned himself behind her, using the pad of his thumb to gently press along the supraspinatus muscle, stopping at the humeral tubercle.

He repeated the process.

He then firmly pressed at the junction of the supraspinatus muscle, repeated seven to eight times, followed by massaging the painful shoulder area with the heel of his palm.

After massaging these points, he continued to massage and apply manual therapy on the subscapularis, teres minor, and infraspinatus muscles where soft tissue damage had occurred.

Luckily, he had mastered advanced bone setting techniques, reaching the level of Minor Achievement.

In dealing with such soft tissue injuries, it came in handy.

"Wow, this is truly amazing! The young doctor seems skilled!"

After treatment, the female patient tried to move her shoulders and felt relieved, the persistent pain vanished.

"Mom, is it really better?"

Seeing her mother’s pain relieved, a happy smile spread across the daughter’s face too.

"Yes, really good. There’s not a bit of pain. My shoulders felt like they were burdened by heavy, solid rocks recently. Now it’s unbelievably light."

The female patient couldn’t praise Li Jingsheng’s skills enough.

"It’s not completely healed yet; just a temporary improvement. If you don’t keep up the treatment, the pain symptoms will soon return."

Li Jingsheng advised the patient.

"Mom, did you hear what the doctor said? I paid for the entire course of treatment at once, if you don’t come, we’ll lose out."

The daughter knew her mother well and offered her some advice.

She paid in advance to ensure her mother wouldn’t skip future treatments.

"Xiaodunzi, why didn’t you discuss this with me? Why pay all at once?"

The female patient regretted it.

"As long as your condition improves, don’t worry about the expense. It’s really not much."

The daughter was ready to support her mother as she stood up.

"No need to support me, I’m all fine! Look!" she said, raising her hand, though showed a slight expression of pain and seemed strained when lowering it.

Soft tissue injuries are not so easily healed.

You need continuous treatment, at least for ten to fifteen days.

"See, you should listen to the doctor’s advice, right? Come, I’ll take you to get the meds, just take them as told."

The woman supported her mother, then turned to Li Jingsheng with a grateful smile, saying, "Doctor, thank you! We’re leaving now!"

"You’re welcome! Remember to bring your mother for treatments on time."

It was the first time Li Jingsheng treated a non-fracture-related case.

The first victory, thinking he could offer such treatments at the clinic in the future too.

Such treatments needing multiple visits bring considerable profit.
