Can acupuncture be used for osteoporosis?

For patients with osteoporosis, moxibustion can be used as an adjunctive treatment. Moxibustion has the following therapeutic effects on these patients: 1. Moxibustion can enhance the digestive function of these patients and increase the absorption of calcium, protein and other nutrients, which helps the recovery of osteoporosis. 2. Moxibustion has the effect of tonifying the middle and benefiting the qi, which has a good effect on the weakness of these patients. 3. It is a good way to relieve local pain in patients with osteoporosis. 4, moxibustion also has the effect of tonifying the liver and kidneys. The disease of osteoporosis is considered to be caused by deficiency of the liver and kidneys in Chinese medicine, and the use of moxibustion has a complementary therapeutic effect on such patients. As mentioned above, moxibustion can be used for this type of patients. However, patients should note that this treatment can only be used as an auxiliary physical therapy, and patients suffering from this disease should go to an orthopedic clinic for regular treatment.
