What is Bone Setting?
Bone setting is a form of manual therapy focused on re-aligning joints and restoring the structural integrity of the skeletal system. It has a rich history across Asian traditional medicine, known in Chinese communities as Tit Tar (跌打).
At Balance Chiropractic, we honor this heritage while grounding our approach in modern anatomy, biomechanics, and thorough assessment. The result is precise, effective care that you can trust.

Traditional Tit Tar Heritage
Bone setting as practiced in Malaysia draws from Tit Tar, a branch of Chinese medicine focused on trauma injuries, fractures, dislocations, and musculoskeletal dysfunction.

Bone Setting vs. Chiropractic — What's the Difference?
Both approaches manipulate the musculoskeletal system, but with different focuses and techniques.
Bone Setting (Tit Tar)
- ● Focuses on peripheral joints (knees, ankles, wrists, shoulders)
- ● Effective for acute injuries, dislocations, and sprains
- ● Often used with herbal liniments and wrapping
- ● Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chiropractic Care
- ● Primarily focuses on the spine and nervous system
- ● Best for chronic postural issues and nerve pain
- ● Uses diagnostic imaging and clinical analysis
- ● Based on Western anatomy and biomechanics
At Balance, both services work together — giving you the best of both worlds.
Bone Setting FAQs
Is bone setting the same as Tit Tar?▼
Tit Tar is the traditional Chinese practice that bone setting is derived from. While they share techniques, modern bone setting integrates current anatomy and safety standards for a more evidence-guided approach.
Is it painful?▼
Some discomfort is normal — especially with acute injuries or very stiff joints. Practitioners work within your tolerance and explain each step. Many patients feel immediate relief after the session.
Can I combine bone setting with chiropractic in the same visit?▼
Yes. Our practitioners coordinate your care plan. Spine-focused adjustments and peripheral joint bone setting can be combined in one visit for comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment.
How many sessions will I need?▼
Acute injuries often show improvement within 2–4 sessions. Chronic or long-standing conditions may require a structured program of 8–12 sessions with maintenance visits thereafter.
