Can you massage a fractured sacrum for a month?

Short answer: you can’t Sacral fracture can not be massaged after one month. Complete healing of sacral fracture takes about 8 to 12 weeks, fracture healing is divided into three phases, hematoma mechanization period, the original bone scab formation period, the bone scab transformation and shaping period. Fracture about a month the bone scab just started to form, the fracture is not completely healed. If the fracture has not healed, massage techniques on the fracture site are not conducive to fracture healing. Massage will lead to displacement of the fracture end, stimulation of the fracture site caused by local pain aggravation. However, patients can choose to perform low-intensity massage techniques away from the fracture site, such as the lower extremities and back. This can help patients avoid muscle stiffness and atrophy due to the inability to move normally as a result of sacral fracture. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital one month after the fracture to review the X-ray to assess the healing of the fracture, and perform functional activity exercises under the guidance of the doctor.
