TCM as complimentary or alternative therapy?

Posted by zingsong @zingsong, Dec 30, 2023

Anyone with experience with TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) used as complimentary or alternative therapy for Osteoporosis? Saw a couple studies that says it is effective. I tried to post the links to the articles but I'm not eligible b/c I'm a newly registered member to this forum.

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

Pubmed has a few articles, including one that says warm acupuncture shows promise. Then there is this article about certain points show promise in acupuncture:

Thanks for sharing. I love acupuncture and it has helped me with so many things. My Chinese doctor sees it as a complimentary treatment. I go regularly and still fractured, so in my case, it is not an alternative treatment. I also took/take Chinese herbs, but not sure if I can continue if I try Tymlos.
