Die da (Chinese: 跌打; pinyin: diē dǎ; Jyutping: dit3 daa2; lit. 'fall', 'hit') or dit da is a traditional Chinese method of bone-setting used to treat trauma and injuries such as bone fractures, sprains, and bruises.
Dit da originated in Guangdong, China, and was usually practiced by martial artists who knew aspects of traditional Chinese medicine. Dit da specialists may also use or recommend dit da jow, other Chinese medical therapies, and in modern times, the use of Western medicine if serious injury is involved. Dit da is not commonly practiced in the West,[1] but it is currently practiced in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.[2]
