How to correct a herniated navicular bone

A herniated navicular bone can generally be corrected by manipulation or surgical repositioning, depending on the severity of the herniation. A herniated navicular bone can be caused by trauma. If the time since the trauma is relatively short and the degree of herniation is relatively mild, the navicular bone can be repositioned by manipulation, and after the repositioning, care needs to be taken to avoid strenuous activities for the time being. If the herniated navicular bone is more serious, especially when the injury is longer, it is often impossible to take the manipulation to reset it, and it is necessary to take surgical treatment to cut the navicular bone and then fix it internally. A herniated navicular bone often causes significant discomfort, such as localized pain, swelling or dysfunction, and should be treated in a timely manner by a doctor.
