I think nowadays, there is a mixture of both.
When I broke my ankle and went to a chinese doc, he made an appt
with TTSH, and ask me to get him the xray before he can
treat.
Being in dire pain, I decided to go ahead with TTSH and put on a
cast.
Now, the western doc did not set my bone or did anything, they just
wrap it in cast and let it heal. (minor fracture only).
Only after it was out of cast, did I went to a chinese doc to get
it strengthen.
For me, primary rule, for any bone injury, first get an xray.
You can't treat what you can see for these type of injuries.
And any mistakes may means consequences..
For my case, it was a case of being careful or I end up with uneven
legs.
