Abstract
This video highlights Baijav’s expertise in bone-setting. It depicts Namkain Uran suffering a shoulder dislocation after falling from a motorcycle. Baijav treated the dislocation and advised her that she would recover within seven days if the shoulder remained stable. By following Baijav’s instructions, Uran could slightly move her hand, though lifting heavy objects was still difficult. Baijav warned that if the shoulder dislocated again before fully healing it could become prone to future dislocations, even with modern medical interventions, compromising complete recovery.
