Where TCM sits in modern care jié hé · 现代医疗中的位置

In practice, most people use TCM alongside modern medicine rather than instead of it. Insurance coverage has expanded in some places — in the United States more than eighty commercial plans have been reported to include acupuncture, and Medicare has covered it for chronic low back pain since 2020.

The workable pattern is straightforward: keep your physicians informed, do not stop prescribed treatment without medical advice, and treat complementary care as complementary.
