Sprains: CAM Therapies for Specific Conditions
- Traditional Chinese medicine is the therapy of choice for sprains among Chinese Americans in San Francisco's Chinatown.
- A 1983 study indicated that acupuncture provides short-term relief to patients suffering from sprains.
- Homeopathy is very effective in the treatment of sprains, according to two studies. A common, over-the-counter homeopathic preparation that was used is the commercial product Traumeel.
