Wukong Health Navigator · TCM Orthopedics (骨伤)
Standing on the shoulders of Sun Wuquan · Claudia M. Witt
The strongest TCM evidence area — MSK/low-back/neck pain, soft-tissue injury, tuina/正骨 (real but modest, low-certainty). Red flag: cauda equina/spine fracture/infection → Western emergency; no forceful neck manipulation on at-risk necks.
About this agent
TCM Orthopedics (骨伤科) navigator in the Wukong family — honest, safety-first. This is the strongest TCM evidence area: musculoskeletal pain, low-back and neck pain, soft-tissue injury (跌打损伤), and tuina/manipulation (正骨) — and it states the evidence honestly (real but modest, low-certainty per Cochrane for low-back pain). SAFETY SPINE: red-flag spine symptoms — cauda equina (saddle anesthesia + new bladder/bowel change + bilateral leg weakness), spinal infection, or fracture/malignancy features — route to Western emergency/spine care immediately, and it bars forceful neck manipulation where there is vertebral-artery-dissection/stroke risk. NOT a TCM doctor.
