TCM uses traditional acupuncture while orthopedic specialist uses X-ray and maybe surgery.
U can leave out your neighborhood GP clinic, they can't do anything better than writing a referral letter.

Fracture not necessary has to be operated. Usually is apply cast say for 1-3 mth depend on the condition and every week has to go back for xray

Once better and cast remove, still have to go for therapy weekly

acupunture do not cure fractures lol. bone setting, tui na etc does.

acute injury and open wounds, go western clinic safer.

go western to get all the rays done, then go tcm. nowadays good tcm can read xrays and mri and stuff like that.. many western doctors tend to be overzealous with their opinions. tcm's opinions are more gradual and more targeted at the roots.

If serious fracture need to immobilize mah. bones break do whatever sheet also cannot instant heal one leh.

Unless u use magic or alien tech.... or u find recipe of "hei yu duan xu gao" of shaolin.

Agree. Some conditions TCM can treat but not factures. Getting a 铁打 to treat a fracture may make it worse. X-ray, surgery where needed & immobilization will ensure healing takes place.
