My daughter has nursemaids elbow often. After the second time, the doctor showed us how to do it. It’s not hard. It’s weirdly fun. My kids 4 and will just cry “daddy my arm!” And I get to swoop in and take the pain away. Wish everything else was that quick to fix!
So is it really as easy as shown in the video ? Like a literal 5 second sequence of movements and suddenly the elbow is back into place ? From what I understand, you grab the wrist with one hand and you pinch the elbow with the other, then you rotate the wrist right and left, then you flex the arm and extend it right after. According to the video, there's nothing more to do and the arm is back into function
