Acupuncture and Osteoporosis?

Posted by pennykj @pennykj, Oct 3, 2023

Has anyone tried acupuncture to help reduce bone loss or improve bone quality due to osteoporosis?

I just came across this article which indicates acupuncture may be helpful.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36521826/#:~:text=There%20is%20accumulating%20evidence%20to,KI3%2C%20BL18%2C%20and%20GB39.
I have significant osteoporosis in my spine, but no fractures so far and I am searching for anything other than osteo prescription meds (which scare me). I am trying many new things right now (6 prunes/day, Marodyne LiV, collagen and am getting ready to try L. reuteri probiotic soon) in addition to the "normal" stuff.

A friend suggested I research acupuncture.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Once my gyn discouraged me from HRT, I stopped researching. However, before I met with my gyn I read Keith McCormick's book and Estrogen Matters book.
Since then, I have started drinking soy milk and eating Natto (Japanese fermented soybeans). Natto allegedly will help bone density.
