Lower limbs Musculoskeletal Pain – pathology and treatment by Acupuncture and Osteopathy
Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most frequent reason for consultation in my own clinic.
In my experience, Acupuncture and Osteopathic medicine are two effective techniques and they are synergistic in treating pain.
