Bone setting

Africa Life Clinic

Available for over a year

For many traditional medical practices involving the evocation of spirits to help heal are preferable to conventional western medicine. While some practitioners may claim that such methods can cure all ills, they are limited when it comes to physical injury. Now in Nigeria there is an attempt to bring together traditional and modern medicine, and encourage practitioners such as traditional bone setters to refer on patients turning up with injuries which they are unable to treat such as broken limbs.
