Traditional bone-setting is a type of a folk medicine in which practitioners are engaged in joint manipulation. Before the advent of chiropractors, osteopaths and physical therapists, bone-setters were the main providers of this type of treatment.[1] Traditionally, they practiced without any formal training in accepted modern medical procedures.[2] Bone-setters would also reduce joint dislocations and "re-set" bone fractures.
