How to treat bone spurs in Chinese medicine

Bone spurs, if treated by TCM, can be treated both externally and internally. The internal treatment of TCM is based on a systematic identification of the evidence and the selection of appropriate prescription drugs to ensure accurate identification. Bone spurs are mostly seen in middle-aged and elderly people, and most of the patients have liver and kidney deficiency, in addition to the aggravation of bone spurs caused by wind-cold paralysis. For these patients, the main treatment principle is to tonify the liver and kidney, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dispel wind and remove paralysis. This treatment is very effective in clinical practice and can significantly reduce the pain and unfavorable movement of the limbs and joints caused by bone spurs. The external treatment method of Chinese medicine can be moxibustion, which can be used to warm up the meridians, disperse cold, tonify the liver and kidneys, and activate the meridians through the warmth of moxibustion. In addition, acupuncture can also be used to improve the pain caused by bone spurs.
