At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we use a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support individuals with osteonecrosis of the femoral head, a condition where reduced blood supply to the hip joint leads to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
From a TCM perspective, this condition is commonly associated with Qi and blood stagnation, kidney and liver deficiency, and meridian obstruction affecting the hip and lower limb. By improving circulation, reducing tension, and supporting musculoskeletal balance, TCM helps relieve discomfort and support hip function.
