A member asked:
I have bone spurs in my shoulders. a friend advised magnetic therapy. would you agree this is an option before surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: I am sorry but I don't have expertise in magnetic therapy - so I can't say. However, acupuncture can be very beneficial in reducing pain & inflammation and improving range of motion. Acupuncture would not change the bone spurs or other arthritic bony changes in your shoulders.
