Time-Honored BrandHaicheng Zhenggu · Liaoning · Founded 1796
Haicheng Zhenggu, originating from Haicheng, Liaoning, is a traditional Chinese bone-setting technique known for manual reduction and splint fixation. With a history of over 200 years, it has benefited countless patients and remains a vital part of northern Chinese medicine.
Brand Story
Haicheng Zhenggu (bone-setting) traces its roots to the mid-Qing Dynasty, evolving from the clinical practice of folk physicians in Haicheng, Liaoning. During the Jiaqing reign (1796-1820), local doctors integrated traditional Chinese traumatology with northern folk therapies, establishing a bone-setting system centered on manual reduction, small splint fixation, and internal/external medication. In the late Qing and early Republic period, the Su family systematized the techniques into eight methods—'touch, connect, end, lift, press, rub, push, grasp'—and developed a signature external plaster. In the mid-20th century, Haicheng Zhenggu Hospital was founded, enabling large-scale transmission. The technique combines TCM qi-blood theory with regional injury patterns, emphasizing 'equal attention to tendons and bones, and integration of movement and stillness.' It is highly effective for fractures and dislocations, earning renown across Liaoning and nationwide. Culturally, it exemplifies the folk wisdom of TCM orthopedics—'simple, convenient, effective, and affordable'—and stands as a key representative of northern Chinese medicine.

Cultural Note
Haicheng Zhenggu's essence lies in 'hands feel, mind comprehends; techniques flow from the hands.' It integrates holistic differentiation with local treatment. The small splint fixation embodies the TCM principle of 'combining movement and stillness' to reduce joint stiffness. Transmission relies on master-disciple oral instruction, preserving complete manual diagrams and chants, making it a significant branch of northern bone-setting schools.
